New VR Games announced including H3VR2, I Am Your Beast and more

As a platform, Virtual Reality may not have taken the gaming world by storm, with ‘flat’ experiences remaining the primary way in which players consume video games. That said, new and excellent VR titles have continued to be released on a consistent basis. Celebrating everything VR, the Summer 2026 VR Games Showcase featured a ton of upcoming titles, including a sequel to the ever-popular Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades and a VR port of I Am Your Beast.

The ‘Summer 2026 VR Games Showcase’ recently went live, giving fans of virtual reality a peek into some of the upcoming titles currently in development. Though it was already technically announced, one of the biggest titles at the showcase was Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2 (H3VR2).

For the uninitiated, the first entry is regarded as one of the best VR shooting games, focusing heavily on depth, physics, customisation and variety. Its sequel appears to be taking all of the learnings from the first game while evolving the formula, with H3VR2 said to be a “tactical extraction roguelike” in which you “take on the role of the handiest 6-ft tall sentient hot dog and dive into a strange and enormous sci-fi megastructure in search of the answers to your existence.”

Sentient hotdogs aside, H3VR2 has the potential to be one of the best and most satisfying shooting games VR has to offer.

Of course, many other titles were also announced, with the excellent fast-paced Hotline Miami-esque FPS I Am Your Beast officially set to receive a full VR port. Other announcements include a VR update for the Motorbike racer Lanesplit; Attack on Titan DLC coming to the Orchestra Rhythm Game ‘Maestro’ – and perhaps most surprisingly a run-and-gun shooter in the form of Transformers: Beyond Reality.

VR is unlikely to take over gaming as the mainstream way to play. That said, it is exciting and encouraging nonetheless to see developers continuing to support the platform, with new, unique and experimental offerings. Full details on all the announcements can be found HERE.
