Description:
Exploding Kittens VR will arrive on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 later this 
year.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

The original Exploding Kittens card game launched back in 2015 and was a 
massive success, spawning all kinds of expansions, spinoffs, and even an 
animated Netflix show that releases next month. Now, the franchise is making 
the leap into virtual reality (VR) with a new video game, Exploding Kittens 
VR , that is set to arrive later this year. 

Developed and published by Saber Interactive under license from board game 
giant Asmodee Entertainment, Exploding Kittens VR will allow up to five 
players to compete in a simulated game of Exploding Kittens in a dynamic 
virtual environment. In addition to online multiplayer, it will also feature 
the ability to play against computer controlled opponents in an offline 
capacity. 

If youre not familiar with the rules of the card game, the general gist is 
that players all take turns drawing cards from a face down deck. Each card 
has a number of possible effects which are mainly geared towards avoiding the 
exploding kitten cards. If drawn, the exploding kitten cards cause you to 
instantly lose the game. The game continues in rounds until there is only a 
single player remaining, who is the winner. 

There will be three unique game modes to discover in this VR adaptation, 
classic mode, blitz mode, and duel mode, which each offer their own spin on 
the games mechanics. You will also be able to create an in-game avatar, with 
a variety of customization options, and explore a social hub. This hub 
includes a range of mini-games to try out alone or with your friends. 

All of this sounds like a pretty good combination, as VR is a great match for 
these kinds of online social experiences. The game is set to launch for Meta 
Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 in fall this year and is currently available to 
pre-order on the Meta Store at a special discounted price of $17.99 / 13.49.
