[Industry Announcement] Launching a New Era in VR Gaming – ‘The ChicKing Dead’ Now Available in Early Access!

In a strategic move to connect with the Road to VR newsletter community, Quantum Universe Inc. is utilizing Industry Direct to make exciting announcements. While these updates are crafted by sponsors and don’t appear in the traditional editorial feed, they play a crucial role in supporting the publication.

Today, we’ve got something special to share. The launch of our VR game, The ChicKing Dead, is open to the public via Early Access on the Meta Oculus Store! This thrilling, free-to-play VR multiplayer game from our South Korea-based studio, Quantum Universe, combines dynamic locomotion with the excitement of tag and chaos.

### Meet Quantum Universe – The Minds Behind the Game

At Quantum Universe, nestled in the heart of Seoul, South Korea, we specialize in VR game development with a wealth of experience across XR technologies like VR, AR, and MR. The ChicKing Dead stands as our first marquee title, meticulously designed to synthesize enjoyment, motion, and pandemonium into a singular VR experience that’s hard to forget.

### The Unique Charm of The ChicKing Dead

In our game, we emphasize cutting-edge VR mechanics with arm-based locomotion. Players literally swing their arms to maneuver, jump, and soar within the VR environment. But that’s not all—players can also execute dashes, boosts, and linked moves to seize victory on the battlefield. The result is a fast-paced and fluid gaming experience that keeps you on your toes from start to finish.

### Game Dynamics: Zombies Face Off Against Chickens

Each match kicks off with 9 players, one of whom is randomly chosen as the Alpha Zombie. The goal? Infect the rest of the Normal Chickens. Once tagged, chickens join the zombie ranks in their pursuit to convert all survivors. The game culminates when either all the chickens are turned or time runs out, making every match a high-adrenaline bout of unpredictability.

### Introducing the LOCOROID System

A key innovation we’re proud of is the LocoRoid system. This feature introduces robotic companions that offer powerful, movement-based skills. Each LocoRoid has unique talents—ranging from focused dashes to vertical thrusts—that add an element of strategy and customization, allowing you to align with a playstyle that ensures dominance in the game.

### Progression, Cosmetics, and More

Within the Early Access phase, players can progress and collect Coins and Feathers, which are used to unlock an array of hilarious and stylish cosmetics. Whether you’re donning an egg hat or a quirky costume, these items let you showcase your unique style, earning rewards as either survivor or zombie.

### Celebrate with Early Access Events

To mark the launch of Early Access, we are hosting special in-game events full of exciting opportunities. Log in to tackle challenges, nab holiday-themed gear, and snag exclusive, limited-time prizes. Stay updated on these events and find us on our official Discord server for the latest.

### Thrilling Updates and Future Roadmap

Looking forward, the Early Access release is just the beginning. We’ll actively incorporate community feedback to refine and expand the game further, with plans for leaderboards, seasonal events, and even competitive leagues. Our aim is to foster not just a game, but a lively, player-led community.

The ChicKing Dead is not just our debut in the world of VR but also a statement of our dedication to delivering fun, innovative, and experimental gaming experiences. Stepping into our world, players will encounter the thrill and intrigue of navigating a zombie apocalypse as a feisty chicken.
