What a week it has been for Oculus Quest 2 owners. A release date for Resident Evil 4 was confirmed on Monday and today EA and Respawn Entertainment released a big surprise announcement. The WW2 shooter Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond will hit the standalone headset sometime this year.
Previously only playable on a decent PC for headsets like Oculus Rift and Valve Index, you could use Oculus Link if you really wanted to play Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond on Quest. Soon this facility will no longer be required as they managed to squeeze all of this content onto the headset. That’s quite an achievement when you consider that you needed at least 180GB of storage space for the installation when you started the video game, far too much for the older or newer base models.
There’s no information on how much space Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond will actually take, but it does include the full single-player campaign, multiplayer mode, and the gallery with their collection of documentaries. So you need to make some space just in case.
The Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond campaign takes you across European battlefields on land, sea and air as you take on the role of an OSS officer during WWII. Working with the French Resistance to sabotage the Nazis, infiltrate a submarine to blow it up, find yourself on the beaches of Normandy and take down enemy planes.
Once that’s done, you can switch to multiplayer mode, which is split into five game modes and ten maps, all of which support 12-player matches with human and AI opponents. From classic modes like Team Deathmatch to Mad Bomber, where you have to secretly place explosives to score big points, there is tons of gameplay.
At the moment, Respawn Entertainment has not confirmed a price or a specific release date for Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. The original Oculus Quest wasn’t mentioned either, so it looks like it’s just Quest 2. VRFocus will continue to report on the launch and will provide further updates.
