“We’re thrilled to be bringing FRENZIES to PlayStation VR2 [and Quest]!,” said Near Light head of studio Paul Mottram on PlayStation Blog. “As you can see from the [debut gameplay trailer], FRENZIES fuses nDreams’ award-winning gunplay with the mayhem of multiplayer, throwing you into neon-soaked arenas for a winner-takes-all showdown with a twist.”
Mottram continued, “Each five-round match in FRENZIES is a chaotic lucky dip of randomized round types, maps, and teams that ensure no two matches are ever the same. Fun to play yet challenging to master, we think FRENZIES will leave you smiling from ear-to-ear every time you step into the arena. We look forward to showing you more soon!”
