Playable in and out of VR
The first-person puzzlerFirmamentis releasing on May 18th, developers Cyan have announced. The studio behind the influentialMystfirst teased the game back in 2018, beforeturning to Kickstarter a year laterto fund their steampunk mystery, and now it’s ready for release, playable in both VR and “2D” - or flatscreen displays.
Anyone familiar with the studio’s past work will know more or less what to expect going into Firmament. There’s button-pushing aplenty, probably a room full of headscratchers, and a desolate setting to uncover. Of course, a new setting means new surprises, and Firmament will take you through three unique realms - that’s a lot of surprises then.

Firmament Launch Date Teaser Trailer
Cyan say that you’ll begin the game waking up in a glacial cavern, groggy and disoriented. Luckily, you can find a morning cup of tea on a lone table, but unluckily, there’s also a dead body slumped over that same table. While you contemplate whether that cuppa is potentially worth dying over, a clockwork device, previously in the hands of the corpse, activates and presents you with a message. It’s presumably the same device you can see in the trailer above, the one you use to shoot beams and activate the various gears, cogs, and steel doors throughout the world.
Firmament will be launching on PC viaSteamon May 18th, playable both in and out of VR. The VR experience has many comfort features such as quick travel up stairs or ladders, and it includes both free roam and teleport modes for movement. If you’d like to take the trip on yourVR headset, the game supports the Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Rift S, and Quest 2. Firmament will also be launching on PlayStation consoles and PSVR later on.
