Learn Vital Skills in this Masterclass of Survival with One of the World’s Best Survivalists of All Time: Les Stroud
VRKiwi, Cream Productions, and Les Stroud Enterprises are excited to announce that Survivorman VR: The Descent will launch on PlayStation VR2 and Steam on February 15, 2024. Following a successful launch on Meta Quest headsets, the PlayStation VR2 and Steam versions will arrive with significantly improved graphics.
In this chilling, virtual reality survival adventure sim based on the hit television series Survivorman, you find yourself scrambling for safety as the sole survivor of a helicopter crash. Trapped on an Arctic mountain with little time before freezing to death, you must explore the perilous landscape, harnessing your wit, ingenuity, and survival skills to make it through the challenging journey back to civilization. Fortunately, you are guided by survival expert (and Survivorman star) Les Stroud.
As you fight frostbitten tooth and nail to seek food, shelter, and warmth, every decision you make is a choice between life and death. This journey isn’t just about making it back; it’s about mastering the art of survival under the most testing circumstances, with a true master as your mentor.
In the immersive environment of Survivorman VR: The Descent, you will navigate dangerous terrain, gather precious resources, and solve difficult puzzles. You have a device attached to your wrist, presenting two crucial health metrics: your body temperature and calorie level. Keep these levels up, and you’ll continue to fight through the frost, making progress towards escape. But if they drop below a certain threshold, it could spell disaster, first causing detrimental health effects before you ultimately freeze to death.
To avoid a less-than-ideal fate, Les Stroud will help you with advice and tips on how to best survive in the freezing wild. Tools such as an improvised paddle, snow shoes, and hunting traps to catch game are all based on real-life survival tools. Challenges are based on actual threats experienced by Les Stroud in his 30+ year career of wilderness survival. With skill, creativity, and a little help from Les, you may just make it out alive!
