Carbon Studios seem to be infatuated with the thought of making VR the fantasy wondescape it's basically always be destined for. With the release of Alice VR now in the past, the group looks toward to future with The Wizards.
Spellcasting is where it's at now; another staple idea of hand-controlled VR. Now that they've tackled a classic piece of children's literature in one of the most bizarre ways since American McGee's Alice, they're ready to try their hand at throwing around powerful magicks.
Expected to launch onto Steam's coveted Early Access regime toward the end of July, The Wizards gets the Reveal Trailer treatment today alongside its release date announcement.

In the hopes of allowing people to fulfil their wildest childhood fantasies, The Wizards drops players into their own Sanctum - where a Mage is typically expected to be found reading dusty tomes and conjuring up more powerful spells. But once hordes of beasts come knocking at your door, it's time to put them to use while porting between locations with what appears to be a Runic Ritual table, of sorts.
Of course, like any good VR game, it's all about showing you scaling heights and putting power into your hands. There's fireballs, thunder bolts and a load of orc-style creatures ready to be on the receiving end of your dexterity. And this one's ready for both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive from July 28.
