Wallace and Gromit Mixed Reality VR Coming Soon

Wallace and Gromit is one of those strange film series that sounds terrible on paper but in actuality is fantastic. Though I don’t much care for VR, I love Wallace and Gromit and was a big fan of the classic video game from 2003 Wallace and Gromit in Project Zoo. This week at the Meta Connect 2023 event not only was the newest Meta Quest 3 headset shown off, but there was also a teaser for a new Wallace and Gromit project.

This new mixed reality game is titled Jamtastic! and is an expansion within the upcoming Wallace and Gromit in the Grand Getaway VR title. The basic premise of the game is as follows “Players must test Wallace’s convoluted ‘jam to toast delivery system’ with an ever-increasing variety of targets that take over their real-world environment, along with the mess they’ll end up making along the way!”

Wielding Wallace’s hand-controlled Jam cannon you will blast through targets within your living room, bedroom, or wherever else you may desire. This game makes full use of the Quest 3’s new sound, color, and camera features to create a truly surreal experience. As you progress expect increasingly expansive and ever-changing challenges that will allow for endless replayability.

This new title will be available for the Meta Quest 2, and 3 headsets. Additionally, it is included at no additional cost with the purchase of Wallace and Gromit in the Grand Getaway which will be released at the end of 2023. Jamtastic! will be developed by Atlas V who previously worked on VR titles such as Spheres and Gloomy Eyes.

For more information surrounding these upcoming games, you can check out the official website. It will be interesting to see how this game makes an impact on the VR market. However, I’m holding out hope that The Grand Getaway can at least make its way to consoles sometime in the future.
