Late to the Party: Unhinged Meme-fest “Leeroy” Comes to Steam VR and Meta Quest Later This Year
Global Seer Initiative (GSI), Guildford UK’s newest collective of semi talented artists and gaming industry malcontents, is somewhat obligated to announce the upcoming release of its debut VR party game, Leeroy. Scheduled for launch later in 2024 on Meta Quest (AppLab) and Steam, Leeroy aims to win over the dozens of active VR gamers out there with a potent blend of comical internet memes, pop culture references, and gaming lore.
So, VR Isn’t Dead?
Given the onset of the so-called “Spatial Computing Era”, one might be led to believe that VR gaming’s best days have come and gone. In a last ditch effort to salvage what's left, GSI is throwing everything but the kitchen sink into Leeroy. (We’re saving that for a potential “Kitchen Sink DLC”.) This game is a love letter to the dozens of VR gamers who still believe in the dream, packed with enough memes to make 2010 jealous and gameplay that's as unpredictable as the next pandemic.
Leeroy brings the heat with a one-of-a-kind multiplayer experience that combines intuitive gameplay with a vast collection of micro-games inspired by trendy internet culture. Drawing inspiration from a variety of internet memes, pop culture references, and gaming nostalgia, Leeroy aims to deliver non-stop laughs and entertainment for parties, gatherings, or solo play. From directing short films starring squirrels to solving puzzles with confused scientists, Leeroy never fails to capitalize on the same brand of comedic gold that some guy once shared on the internet.
Developed by Industry Veterans
Behind this madness is a team of "veterans" who have somehow convinced themselves that their extensive background at places like Zynga, Google, and Lionhead Studios has prepared them for this moment. GSI's founders, leveraging their accumulated wisdom and mild desperation, are ready to prove that there's still life in VR gaming - or at the very least, a good laugh or two.
