Arcade Legend coming to Oculus Quest and Steam in 2022Oct 20, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsAustralia/Singapore - October 19, 2021. LAI Games has announced that their new consumer VR title, Arcade Legend, which is currently in development is set for a dual release on both Steam and the Oculus Quest Store in 2022. Inside Arcade Legend, an arcade builder and gameplay simulator, you’ve inherited a mysterious old arcade which was once a legendary entertainment destination. Before you can open your doors for business, however, you’ll need to do some cleaning up. Restore and customize your arcade using a wide range of materials, then fill it with officially licensed arcade games to earn revenue and build Reputation, which unlocks new attractions that you can play solo or with friends. Casual, competitive, and always social, you can chill out with friends, go head-to-head on global leaderboards against the best players in the world, or open your doors to the public to show off what you’ve built. “As arcade game developers, it’s our goal to deliver accessible, rewarding and unique games and experiences to players heading out for a good time with their friends and families.” says Shannon Perell, LAI’s Head of Product Development and Creative Director for Arcade Legend. “Arcades are such a special and unique social space, and we’re so excited to have the opportunity to bring an authentic arcade gaming experience to both Steam and Oculus Quest." LAI Games has already secured a deal with two other well-known arcade game manufacturers to bring a number of their officially licensed games into Arcade Legend. In the future, this content will come as both free and paid DLC packs, and the company has plans to bring more officially licensed products to the game over time. Players will have multiple opportunities to be part of exclusive beta testing periods before its dual launch on Steam/Oculus Quest. Players can learn more about Arcade Legend at our Steam store page.

And there may not have been a more difficult test for the Out-of-Home Entertainment Industry than the COVID-19 pandemic. Some traditional arcade game manufacturers didn't make it out of the pandemic alive, but there were also some that found innovative ways to leverage COVID into new opportunities. One of those companies was LAI Games, a company who has been making real-world arcade games for over 60 years, and in 2020 they started on their first in-home consumer VR game built around their core competency: building great arcade games and experiences. LAI Games plans to work with other arcade industry manufacturers to bring more officially licensed games to Arcade Legend, and they've already secured a deal with another prominent manufacturer to bring one of the most iconic arcade titles to the game in the next few months.

There are a few titles out there that do this – one I own is called Arcadecraft, and I’ve heard of others like Pierhead Arcade (which has a Speed of Light clone in it, along with knock-offs of other staples of the carnival & amusement scene). LAI for their part, is able to take it up a few notches by creating faithful virtual recreations of their own games including Stacker, Speed of Light, HYPERShoot, Let’s Bounce and more. For fans of these titles, it means you finally get to enjoy them in VR.
