MetaQuest Gaming Showcase: New Quest Games for 2022

Meta announced its MetaQuest Gaming Showcase for 2022 So to prepare us for our future I figured let's take a look at the past oculus quest gaming showcase and then make some predictions for what we could expect for game announcements this year.

So the run down from last year the show was hosted by Oculus executive Producer Ruth Bram and she has confirmed she will be hosting again this year. Ruth announced updates for Pistol Whip, War Hammer, The Climb 2, Star Wars Tales from the galaxy’s edge and finishing the show with the afterschocks update for Walking Dead Saints and Sinners. 

As far as new titles for the quest went Lone Echo 2 was announced along with Star Wars Pinball, I expect you to die 2, carve snowboarding, after the fall, wraith the oblivion afterlife and of course Resident Evil 4. Which took up the bulk of the show as we all know now it should have. So inside the 27 minute presentation we learned about 7 new titles hitting quest and 5 big updates for previously released titles. 

I will say many of the updates and new games were revealed to be hitting the oculus store either the day of the event or within the next month so this years showcase may have some actionable titles to play right after the presentation, along with a flash sale in the oculus store. And who doesn’t love to save that meta cash!?

For this years presentation we have already seen confirmation that Among US will be featured as they stated on twitter and I’m hoping we get a full release date slash the ol’ and its available now E3 moment but we shall see. Games I’m hoping to see more of and hopefully get a release date for are Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, (lets hope we don’t have to buy the newly revealed GTA+ woof) and those Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell VR games we haven’t heard much of since 2020. 

We do know from Facebook Connect that the devs of After The Fall, Vertigo Games are working on four new releases for the quest and they confirmed some of the titles they are working on are set in game worlds from deep silver so maybe we will see something from saints row or Dead Island? 

And lastly Boneworks creators Stress Level Zero have been working on a Quest game for quite some time now that I’m really hoping gets announced and that it somehow tied to boneworks, because a standalone Q2 boneworks would be amazing. I also wonder if we will hear about this new annual NFL game from StatusPro. I guess we shall see.
