Nock Updates, New Arena and Future Road Map
Nock is quickly becoming an incredibly popular multiplayer game on the quest 2 and they recently just posted their roadmap for updates and features so lets see what the future holds for Nock.
Here are the features the developers normal are working on currently. Feature 1 is a dark arena. I personally would really enjoy this and so would my eyeballs. I do like the white floor and bright blue atmosphere in the arena we have at launch, its a nice escape buy my old man dad eyeballs get a little strained after a while but nonetheless this dark arena looks like a california sunset into the deep blue sea and would be welcomed change of scenery for us players.
More characters are coming, they are looking to release about 6 unique characters as you can see here in this shot it looks like we have an assassin on the right, a shrouded cricket that almost looks like the character from journey. But noticing what is in their hands leads to
New Bow Designs, here’s a close up image of some of the bow models they are looking to release 6-10 new ones and next to characters I think these will be the most sought after cosmetics. But I personally want that clippy paper clip bow.
Custom block skins are up next which I think would be an interesting unlockable that I would never pay for but it will look cool to shoot a block of cheese to defend against a goal.
This next one is a big one quick chat. In my opinion quick chat is very important in games like this especially for people who don’t like to have their mic on during gameplay maybe because their uh kid is sleeping in the next room. I’m interested to see how they would implement it and what button they will use, but I’m excited for that feature.
Up next is having the ability to curve your arrows which will surely be above my skill set but will make the game much more interesting. As you see here in the provided gif it says you will be able to curve your arrows with your wrist. This should help making contact with those long off axis ball and directing the ball more easily
They are also working on an integrated friends list and party support for your questies along with of course a PC-VR version which I’m sure will send this game into the stratosphere once it hits steam.
Now for the future future of nock. In future updates normal is planning on adding a free play and training mode to help practice shots much like rocket league. They are planning on adding in match spectating which would be awesome for streamers and the potential of turning this franchise into a VR master league gaming title. Something I wish was there for launch, in game replays with the ability to save them for later which would be nice for youtubers and tiktokers and finally more game modes. Honestly gorilla tag in that arena would be pretty dope.
There you have it the future of Nock, are you playing nock obsessively? Let me know in the comments below.
