Vertigo Games is reaching back to bring Trilobyte's classic The 7th Guest to a whole new audience with The 7th Guest VR, a virtual reality reimagining of the 1993 FMV classic. Announced during the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase, the game is expected to arrive later this year for PC via Steam, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest 3.

Entirely reimagined for virtual reality gameplay with additional enhancements, The 7th Guest VR features the same classic story by Matthew J. Costello, and brings back iconic characters in full 3D using "cutting-edge ghostly volumetric video capture with 3D live-action graphics". The new 3D world of Stauf Mansion is complete with all-new puzzles that have been carefully redesigned to take full advantage of the technological possibilities of virtual reality. The mansion's puzzles are all meaningfully connected to the main story, and use recognizable aesthetic elements to pay homage to the original game.

"I can still remember being mesmerized when I played the original," said game director Paul van der Meer. "It all felt so real to me. And so mysterious! Being able to bring that iconic game to virtual reality is a dream come true and I can't wait to share the result with everyone."

Thanks to Gematsu for the heads up.

If you’ve been wondering just when Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil: Death Island film would be released, wonder no more. Sadly, other than Japan, it won't be seeing a theatrical release.

After initially being revealed for this Summer, and then subsequently announced for release theatrically in Japan on July 7, Sony Pictures has now announced that Death Island will be getting a release digitally and on Steelbook 4K UHD and Blu-Ray on July 25. Pre-orders are now open.

Extras included with the Blu-Ray and 4K:

Directed by Eiichiro Hasumi ("Assassination Classroom") from a screenplay by Makoto Fukami ("Psycho-Pass"), Resident Evil: Death Island is a sequel to 2017's Resident Evil: Vendetta, featuring the voice talents of Matthew Mercer, Stephanie Panisello, Kevin Dorman, Nicole Tompkins, and Erin Cahill.

In San Francisco, Jill Valentine is dealing with a zombie outbreak and a new T-Virus, Leon Kennedy is on the trail of a kidnapped DARPA scientist, and Claire Redfield is investigating a monstrous fish that is killing whales in the bay. Joined by Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers, the team discovers that the trail of clues from their separate cases all converge on the same location, Alcatraz Island, where a new evil has taken residence and awaits their arrival.
