Ubisoft revealed at the E3 2017 the psychological VR thriller "Transference". The game is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal's FunHouse division in collaboration with SpectreVision, a production company founded by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and John C. Waller. "Transference" will be released in spring 2018 for PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
In "Transference" you move through a digital recreation of the mind and work to uncover the secrets of a house that harbours a distorted reality. As you explore the mind and unravel the secrets of the house, you will encounter a family whose members have their own history and perspective on the events buried deep in their memories. According to the developers, all decisions will have certain consequences and will affect the fate of the family.
"The game brings together our experience in storytelling and Ubisoft's unrivalled ability to create immersive worlds in an exciting way," says Elijah Wood, Creative Director at SpectreVision. "We jumped at the chance to work with Ubisoft in the VR space. We believe we've created a beautiful and immersive game that will leave a lasting impression on players, even after they take off the headset."
"The opportunity to work with SpectreVision on a game with deep characters and an intimate yet expansive story was one we couldn't turn down," says Caroline Martin, Executive Director at FunHouse, Ubisoft Montreal. "Transference offered us the unique opportunity to create an incredibly immersive game, with full interactivity, touch controls and a compelling story to uncover. We strive to push the boundaries of VR gaming and can't wait for players to experience Transference."
