FoxNext is a division of 21st Century Fox that tries to adapt the movie franchises such as
Alien and
X-Files in the video game format. Their newest project,
Crisis on the Planet of the Apes VR is a first-person action-adventure VR game set in-between the
Rise and
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movies, about five years after the outbreak of the Simian Flu and death of half of humanity.
“VR has always held the promise of bringing together the cinematic storytelling of film and the deeply immersive interactivity of games. Crisis on the Planet of the Apes VR takes this potential to the next level,” said Brendan Handler, senior vice president and general manager of FoxNext. “We set out to give the fan a lead role in this dark Planet of the Apes world — to feel the ape’s strength, power and movement as he fights his way to safety," the statement reads. Tha game will cost $15.
Crisis on the Planet of the Apes will debut on PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive on April 3.
