Devolver's next VR game Tentacular looks like Angry Birds meets Cthulhu

It's a physics-based wreck fest, from the looks of things.

What you need to know

  • Devolver Digital's next VR game, Tentacular, is being developed by indie developer Firepunchd.
  • The small studio has been developing the game for several years, with teases going back to 2020.
  • No platforms have been announced yet but the game is expected to release this year.

Devolver Digital has finally pulled the curtain back on its next VR title in a series of short trailers. One narrated trailer gives a brief intro of the town players will find themselves wrecking, while the second trailer, found below, shows the player wreaking havoc on said town.

Devolver Digital hasn't announced which platforms Tentacular VR will be coming to, but we're hoping it'll make its debut sometime this year. Devolver Digital previously published the well-received Gorn, which worked incredibly well on the Quest 2.

This also isn't the first time we've seen a tentacle-focused game from Devolver Digital but it's certainly more wholesome than Carrion ever tried to be.

As is the nature of a teaser trailer, there isn't too much in the way of an explanation of gameplay depth, but it looks like players will be performing a variety of tasks in addition to simply destroying as much human property as they can find. One scene certainly feels like it was ripped from the pages of Angry Birds, albeit with a significantly heavier ship that's being launched into the town's buildings.

Other parts show players stacking shipping crates and other objects, while an earlier trailer from 2020 — found below — shows players building contraptions and reveling in the joy that only physics can deliver.

Larger publishers have shied away from investing heavily into VR due to its slow uptake, but the recent surge in Quest 2 sales — eclipsing even the Xbox in 2021 — could prove to be an inflection point for VR development, particularly as it pertains to larger titles and big-name IPs.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
