AUSTIN, Texas – Sept. 21, 2023  – Battle Bows, the co-op VR wave shooter from WIMO Games, fires a volley of fresh content with a free DLC containing a new team-based event, winter environment, crossbow weapon, legendary difficulty mode, and more, available today on the Meta Quest store and SteamVR. WIMO Games also confirms today that Battle Bows will ready its arrows to strike PlayStation VR2, with a port currently in development

Play the Bow Showdown recurring event, where archers join one of three teams and try to win glory for their team. Each match adds points to the team’s score while enemies gain new strength and defense buffs. The highest overall team score gets bragging rights and bonuses toward unlocking the newly added talents. These permanent talent upgrades can help improve elemental power cooldowns and range, reinforce the castle door, or grant point bonuses for climbing the leaderboard.

The kingdom’s four greatest defenders will also protect a new wintry world. The Winter Keep shines with a beautiful borealis that covers a night-time sky, while enemies travel a rugged, frozen tundra, featuring more than 40 new pathways for enemies to travel as they attack your base. Our defenders will even be able to trade arrows for explosives with the just-added Demolition Kit, packing a crossbow grenade launcher in the main hand, and a wrist-launched sticky web on the off-hand for maximum area control.

These new armaments will assist those tackling the DLC’s new Legendary difficulty, featuring 16 waves of ever more deadly enemies. Square off against debuting foes like the Rocketeer which sets its sights straight on the heart of the castle, and the magic shield-casting Warlock, who protects its allies. Contend with the Legendary Badaboom Boss, who lobs globs of guck to stun archers, then throws a bomb at the heart.

Originally launched in July 2023, Battle Bows takes place in a fantasy world where four archers play together in online co-op using VR controllers with easy-to-learn mechanics. Defend the kingdom’s castle from hordes of balloon monsters. The quartet must channel the mystic arts of fire, ice, electricity, and poison to thwart the menace laying siege to their gates.

“This DLC is both a thank you to everyone who supported our debut virtual reality game and a sign of our commitment to continue expanding the world of Battle Bows,” said WIMO Games CEO Dave Rosen. “This update nearly doubles the game content, giving our fans plenty more to enjoy while we work on the much-requested PSVR2 version and other virtual reality titles in development.”

Battle Bows’ first DLC is out now  for free on the Meta Store for Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro and Steam for SteamVR. Pick up the base game for $19.99 with language support in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean.
