An unfamiliar name has appeared on the Steam Global Best Selling Rankings. It’s a VR MMORPG called Zenith: The Last City, which started in Early Access on the 28th, but it’s been a long time since a VR game made it to the top of the top selling charts.

Zenith: The Last City, when it was first released on Kickstarter several years ago, exceeded its target amount in less than four hours, and was a game that was highly anticipated. It was released on all major VR platforms on the 27th and supports Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows MR, and more.

Users’ first impressions of this game are condensed into one. It is said that ‘Sword Art Online’, a virtual reality game media mix, has been realized into reality. Joining parties and guilds, fighting bosses, attacking dungeons, and enjoying adventures are no different from regular MMORPGs. However, VR-based real-time action battles with enemies, the ability to explore all over the map, and the ability to communicate with other players are considered as the biggest differentiator.

Some even say that the world shown by Zenith: The Last City is the best metaverse that you can enjoy right now. In fact, the developer has announced that it will maintain the game over the next 10 years based on a large investment. There is also a prospect that it will be relatively free from pay-to-win (P2W) because it is a package purchase method. It is still in the early stages of early access, so there are waiting times for access because it cannot accommodate many users, but it is considered one of the most anticipated games in the future.
