Swords of Gargantua Celebrates First Birthday by Releasing Lounge and MOD Modes

For VR Action game Swords of Gargantua, celebrating their first birthday means giving players presents.

Game company Yomuneco has announced some new content to the “rogue-lite VR” action game Swords of Gargantua. The game launched last year in June on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality, Today, new updates have set up an 8 player lounge so players can hang out together, new weapons and a MOD mode for creators who want to change it up. Yomuneco is also hosting a shield design competition. They plan to release new weapons into the game from now through July.

Here’s the breakdown on what’s here and what’s coming:

Online Lounge
The Online Lounge is a new area where up to 8 players can come together and socialize. Players can also use emotes to visually express their emotions and this pairs well with the game’s native voice chat. Players can also start 4-player co-op quests through the lounge.

New Weapons: Suzaku & Phoenix
Suzaku and Phoenix are independent one-handed swords. Suzaku is a weapon specializing in attack power, and Phoenix is a weapon specialized in defense. By holding both, players can become an ultimate sword fighter. Participate in in-game events between now and June 26 to unlock these weapons.

MOD Mode (Beta version)
MOD mode is a new mode where players can customize in-game parameters such as the player’s attack, movement speed, or customizing enemy wave types. It has been in alpha for PCVR players, and with this update, it will move into beta and be available for Oculus Quest players, too.
