Hide & Seek Christmas Update

Week 51 Lumos Update

Hello fellow diVRs!

The Holiday Season is here, a time for many of you to take it slow and relax. Good for you! But we at DIVR Labs are not stopping! We are proud to announce a brand new game mode as part of the Hide & Seek Christmas Update. The eponymous PvP multiplayer mode is a thrilling experience which pits two players against each other in a local battle of wits and nerves.

Ready Player One

Put on the VR headset and stand your ground against waves of enemies and try to survive until the timer runs out. It might be only three minutes, but you will be sweating bullets by the end. The original experience of Blue Effect just got better with the introduction of a second player!

Ready Player Two

Grab a hold of a game controller of your choice and let the hunt begin! Your goal? Seek, scare and exterminate your friend in VR by taking control of one of the horrific monsters lurking in the darkened corners of the Blue Effect world. If you cannot take the pressure of the VR experience, you might give this one a try!

Hide & Seek game mode will no doubt determine who will end up on which part of the Santa’s Naughty or Nice List, but there is more to our Christmas Update. Hear us out!

The devs have been hard at work on fleshing out the dark future world of Blue Effect and we are proud to bring forth a new map called The Lab. Here you will be defending light pillars against waves of enemies, while having the luxury of using 2 weapons at the same time. Don’t let the pillars get destroyed, because once that happens, not even your extended arsenal will keep you safe…

The Lab as well as the older Warehouse level will grant you extra force by introducing various power ups, which will buff your ability to fend off the alien hordes. Unless you stumble on the wrong one, which will do the opposite… The naughty or nice concept yet again!

And to wrap this Christmas Update up, we are happy to lighten the mood by allowing you to wield a head of a snowman instead of the good old Orb. Don’t forget to turn this option on in the main menu!

Oh, did we mention Blue Effect is now 50% off during the Holiday Season on Steam? There is no better time to hop into the game than right now!

Thank you all for being the pioneers of VR gaming with us and for enjoying Blue Effect. There is more in store for you, our community of diVRs, in the upcoming year. Until then…

Have a great Christmas and happy New Year!

Your DIVR Labs.
