Survival horror fans have a chilling new adventure to look forward to — Dread Meridian, an upcoming VR game from developer KUKRGAME, is set to deliver an intense blend of fear, survival, and mystery on Steam and the Meta Quest platform.
Unveiled during the Level Infinite Showcase, Dread Meridian throws players into the frozen wasteland of Oglanbyen Island, a desolate environment filled with unspeakable horrors. Players step into the shoes of Daniella, a determined researcher searching for her missing twin sister. But the deeper she ventures, the more nightmarish the island becomes.
Survival Horror Meets VR Immersion
Dread Meridian isn’t just about jump scares — it’s about survival. Ammo and combat resources are intentionally scarce, forcing players to make tactical choices about when and how to fight. While you’ll always have a trusty knife as a last line of defense, you’ll need to manage your resources wisely to stand a chance.
The game also promises cryptic puzzles, designed to keep players on edge while they navigate the terrifying environments. Adding another layer of depth, weapons will be customizable, though full details about the upgrade system remain under wraps for now.
Co-op PvE Mode On The Horizon
While the core experience is single-player survival horror, KUKRGAME has teased a planned co-op PvE mode, letting players team up to face the island’s horrors together. This could introduce a completely new dynamic to the survival experience — blending teamwork with tension.
Release & Community Testing
Although a firm release date hasn’t been confirmed, the developers have revealed that community testing will begin later this year. That means eager fans will soon get their first hands-on experience before the full launch.
For now, Dread Meridian is simply listed as “coming soon” to both SteamVR and the Meta Quest Store, but with more details promised in the months ahead, survival horror enthusiasts should definitely keep this one on their radar.
Why Dread Meridian Stands Out
- Immersive VR horror setting in a frozen wasteland
- Story-driven survival following Daniella’s desperate search
- Resource-limited combat that emphasizes strategy
- Cryptic puzzles to challenge players
- Future co-op PvE mode for shared survival horror
💀 Dread Meridian is shaping up to be one of the most atmospheric VR survival horror titles yet. If you’re a fan of games like Resident Evil or The Forest, this could be the next terrifying adventure to add to your library.
