Venture’s Gauntlet is an action platformer that will take you to dizzying heights. Premiere today on Quest, Pico and Steam platforms.

FACTS

In Venture’s Gauntlet, you play as the potential heir to aging billionaire Adam Venture. To prove you are a worthy successor, you must survive a series of deadly obstacle courses known as the Entrepreneurial Gauntlet.

The game uses a locomotion system called “TrueMotionVR” where you run, climb and swing using arm movements. Your journey will take you through nine intense stages inspired by the Scottish highlands. You’ll conquer gigantic cliffs, explore the depths of the earth, and climb crumbling castles. Dynamic time and weather simulation brings the world to life.

The game has calibration that adjusts obstacles to your height and arm length to ensure an optimal experience for all players. Online leaderboards allow you to compete with others for the best times on each stage.

Venture’s Gauntlet will be released on May 23 on App Lab and Pico. The game will leave Early Access on Steam at the same time.

CONTEXT

Venture’s Gauntlet was developed by Bearhammer Games. The game has been in development for two years.

The game was first released as a demo during Steam Next Fest 2022 under the title “Adventure Fitness VR”. In 2023, the game was released in early access on the Steam platform under the new name Venture’s Gauntlet. Since then, the studio has optimized the title for standalone VR headsets and improved the gameplay, graphics, and story.
