Puzzle Bobble VR: Vacation Odyssey brings Taito’s classic to the third dimension

Puzzle Bobble VR: Vacation Odyssey

Partnering with Taito, leading VR studio Survios has transformed the beloved, nostalgic world of Puzzle Bobble into VR.

Cheerful design, timeless gameplay, and adorable characters – even without mentioning the game’s title, many fans of the video game industry will know that we are referring to Puzzle Bobble. (And for a quick history lesson: Puzzle Bobble is derived from the ’80s-era arcade series Bubble Bobble.)

The original developer and publisher of Puzzle Bobble, Taito, is partnering with Survios to deliver for fans the next evolution of the classic Japanese action-puzzle game. Only this time you’ll experience the immersive fun in virtual reality.

So what’s new?

Puzzle Bobble VR: Vacation Odyssey delivers a first-person player perspective with a hundred three-dimensional levels of bubble-bursting action. Aim, match, and burst bubbles to advance through the island environments and master each level. Coins are earned and exchanged to activate power-ups. Plus, clever VR interactions give players new tools and techniques in bubble solving.

Furthermore, Puzzle Bobble VR: Vacation Odyssey will have the timeless soundtrack from Zuntata. All the recognizable classic soundtracks and new, never-before-heard songs composed just for this version are featured in this VR game.
