ComingPublisher Wired Productions and developer Just Add Water have excavated the news you’ve all been waiting for: DIG VR is set to launch on October 24th for Meta Quest! We recently wrote about the launch of DIG FM the radio station launched to accompany Wired Productions and Just Add Water‘s new title, and so it’s great to be back with a launch date for the game too!
At least we dig each other
I couldn’t write another DIG VR news piece without shoehorning in another Dig musical reference could I? A slightly more sentimental pick this time, and if you read on you’ll find out why.
DIG VR is the new VR simulation game all about diggers! Who hasn’t driven past one of those wonderous yellow machines and wondered what it would be like to operate one. I know the TC Mini Crew often shout excitedly if we pass one by, whilst I silently wish to be the hard hat wielding driver. DIG VR takes this childlike longing and uses authentic immersive VR controls to recreate the feeling of driving a real digger.
To mark the launch date milestone, Wired Productions has unveiled a heartfelt new trailer, evoking the nostalgia of childhood dreams and cherished connections to the past.
“The pandemic was a terrible period for many, but one positive outcome was the concept of DIG VR, which came about whilst quarantined on my father’s farm in Italy. Using a digger in real life, with those controls and a steep learning curve, made the idea of a digging game in VR pop. Coming back to the UK and talking to the Just Add Water team, and of course, Meta, the idea took shape and DIG VR began its journey.”
“The game is deeply personal, but should resonate with many folks. From VR fans to construction workers, to simulation fans, and more importantly parents and their children.”
“In DIG VR we wanted to recreate the feeling of being on a digger, or for those who have never tried, to encapsulate the essence of operating these wonderful machines. The concept was born in Italy, made in the UK, and is now being shared to the world.” Said Leo Zullo, Co-Founder & Managing Director of Wired Productions
