War Robots VR — Kickstarter campaign is live!Nov 14, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsIn 2017, we decided to try our hand at something new and give our players a chance to experience what it's like to actually sit in the cockpit of a giant robot (the size of a tall building!). We’ve released a short PC VR singleplayer experience under the name War Robots VR: The Skirmish. Now, thanks to the participation and positive feedback from this great community, we've decided to go for it! All we need is your support. Let's make this thing real — support the project! We're not stopping on that for sure. Tons of new details are coming very soon, so be sure to follow the campaign updates!War Robots VR — Kickstarter campaign is live!Nov 14, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsIn 2017, we decided to try our hand at something new and give our players a chance to experience what it's like to actually sit in the cockpit of a giant robot (the size of a tall building!).

We keep reading your feedback on War Robots: The Skirmish — and honestly we’re floored. None of us expected the response to be that astounding. After such reception and so many “full game when?” threads we thought: maybe we should actually turn The Skirmish into a full-blown game? So with this idea we went to Kickstarter. The campaign will start November 13th, and while we're making final preparations, here are some preliminary details to set you on rails. Q: In short: what War Robots VR is? A: If you played War Robots before, then you already have a good idea what it is: team-based PvP online multiplayer shooter with giant robots, each with its own set of strengths and abilities. Change some things here and there (more on that below), adapt everything for PC virtual reality — and you’ll get War Robots VR. Q: Why not make a story-based game? The Skirmish was a single player experience after all. A: The answer is easy: online multiplayer is something we’re simply better at. We tried many ideas before, we stepped on many rakes — and we learned a ton. We know what works online and what doesn’t. Having that experience, we firmly believe we can do a good job creating a full-fledged PC/console multiplayer game. To make a single player experience you need to take a very different approach. And while we’d love to try ourselves at telling epic stories, at this point we decided to focus at something where we are confident that we can deliver. Q: Will War Robots VR be free-to-play? A: The current plan is to sell it for a fixed price. This is the only way we can ensure that all in-game content is available for you and everyone is playing on the same field. We’re still discussing visual unlocks (think Overwatch model), but pay-to-be-stronger elements are 100% out of question. Skill and teamwork is the only thing that can set you apart from everyone. How much? We haven't settled on the price yet, but Kickstarter backers will receive a full copy of the game for a $25 pledge. Q: Why Kickstarter? A: After many years working on War Robots we’re basically putting ourselves to the test. From the dawn of time Pixonic is working on mobile games. We formed an independent team within the company to build War Robots VR based on completely different values. Comparing to mobile industry, expectations are different for PC and especially VR titles. After the experiment that was The Skirmish we are confident that we can make that transition and make a great game for big platforms. Now, to get greenlit and continue working on War Robots VR our team has to prove that project like this is something people truly need. And this is where we need your support. Q: What’s going to happen with original War Robots? A: War Robots VR and War Robots are set to coexist. War Robots VR isn’t a direct successor to the original game, but a different take on the franchise. For example, in VR we’re rethinking what our robots are capable of. What sets Carnage apart from everyone? What is...War Robots VR — Kickstarter for the full game, coming soonNov 9, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsEveryone!
