And for this special occasion, we have prepared a FAQ just in case you’re wondering how it all works:
How Do I Get Access to the DLC?
Kona VR is available on our store pageas part of a bundle for new players and as DLC for owners of the base game.So What’s Different on VR?
Well, not much really. It is Kona, but in virtual reality :) The only big change we’ve made is introducing a safe mode that is always on in VR, which removes combat against wolves. Encounters didn’t feel right in VR and caused motion sickness for many players.What Happens to my Saved Game?
Nothing. You may continue your progress in VR, and swap back to non-VR anytime. Kona VR is just another way to immerse yourself in the Manastan region.So What’s Next?
We have been hard at work pushing all versions of Kona in the last four years; PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, Android TV, Switch and now VR. During that time, many users encountered and reported issues with the game, which we are keeping in a nice todo list. So now that all the promised platforms are supported, we are going to (1) fix the issues and provide updates for the game, and (2) think about our next big thing :)There are more news to come, but for the time being, we are going to support our recent launch and work on updates.
Stay tuned!
