BRISTOL, UK – September 29th, 2022 – Get behind the bar to create and serve intergalactic cocktails to some of the galaxy’s most interesting clientele in Startenders, an out of this world VR bartending experience launching on PlayStation VR today.
Developed by Foggy Box Games, Startenders is an immersive arcade-style game that lets players loose with a cocktail shaker, a collection of mad machinery, and an abundance of crazy ingredients to mix, shake and serve their way across the universe. Create bizarre beverages for colourful customers as a Milky Way mixologist in the hope that no one notices you haven’t the slightest clue what’s going on.
“No two shifts behind the Startenders bar are ever the same with our procedurally generated clientele, so that, just like in a real space bar, you never know who or what might walk in next,” said Chris Youles, Creative Director of Foggy Box Games. “We were delighted with the response to Startenders when it launched on Meta Quest and Meta Quest 2 earlier in the year, so we’re thrilled to bring the game to PlayStation VR players today. It’s all about having fun, experimenting with your mixology skills in a vibrant VR setting.”
