Catan GmbH, Catan Studio, Asmodee Digital and Experiment 7 have released "Catan VR". This is a new virtual reality experience that invites players on an adventure on the island of Catan.
"Catan VR" was developed in collaboration with the original "Catan" makers, father Klaus and son Benjamin Teuber. The title is for Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR available. Oculus GO will follow soon. According to the creators, "Catan VR" adds the social fun of the board game. There are two control options, touch control and gaze control.
Despite the distance barrier, players can still play in "Catan VR" at a table and play a round together. "Catan VR" offers cross-platform online multiplayer matchmaking. Alternatively, you can also play against the AI.
"Catan is all about exploring new frontiers," says "Catan" founder Klaus Teuber. "What better way than to venture into the exciting new world of virtual reality? The immersion made possible by virtual reality shows in a unique way the limitless possibilities of taking your first steps into undiscovered lands."
