PlayStation VR (PSVR) is set to have a busy few months with big releases like Farpoint and Starblood Arena, but Sony is also looking ahead, today revealing a new slate of VR titles coming from Chinese developers.
These games are all being created under Sony’s China Hero Project, which supports developers in the country. A total of nine new PlayStation 4 games have been announced, many of which will be supporting the VR headset. You can see all the games in a round up trailer below.
So let’s take a look at what was actually announced for PSVR here.
The Walker, from Haymaker
This looks like the most promising title in the group, offering fantasy combat with swords and spells. Details are scarce, but the developer says it wants players to believe they’re entering a real world, not just playing a game.
The X Animal, from Internet Stars
This is apparently a casual VR game that aims to capitalize on the sense of space that VR provides and wants to offer users different experiences. It’s difficult to tell exactly what the player is doing in the brief gameplay snippet above, but it certainly looks interesting.
Pervader VR, from Light & Digital
Again, it’s difficult to tell what the developer is going for here, but it is hoping to create a memorable story and an emotional experience. This looks like concept art to us, but a VR experience showing data all around the world is an intriguing concept.

The video also offers another look at Project Boundary, a first-person shooter that has promised VR support in the past, and zombie shooter Kill X. Interestingly the latter is now shown as a third-person shooter likely for non-VR play. We quite liked the VR demo we played, so hopefully that’s still coming.
No release dates, or even confirmation of a western release, for these titles yet, but keep your eyes peeled.
