Immersive entertainment studio, Maze Theory, has today released the latest batch of free updates to acclaimed VR action-adventure, Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom, on Meta Quest 2 and PICO 4.
As part of a commitment to serve up brand-new content throughout 2023, today’s update is the most significant so far. As of today, players can take on two new story-driven combat missions – in Defend the Garrison, you’ll be fighting alongside Arthur Shelby fending off the Winter’s Children and in Battle for Pennyfields, players will fight their way through the streets of Limehouse with Arthur to defend Lily Wong’s territory from men still loyal to Feng Ho.
Also on offer is a brand-new Weapon Challenge where you’ll be tasked with taking down enemy grunts in the fastest time possible using the quick-fire Lewis gun, and new item skins for gloves, lighters, and the pistol, as well as a new ‘Player Hub’ where you can store and equip them all. Finally, there are also brand-new achievements to unlock as you complete some of the new content. Players will be able to access all the new content once they’ve completed the main game.
“We’re mid-way through our planned content roadmap for Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom, and we’ve already delivered over an hours’ worth of additional free new gameplay since launch,” said Tim Jones, Game Director at Maze Theory. “Today’s update is our most exciting and weighty so far, with yet more substantial new DLC still to come later in the year.”
Inspired by the BAFTA-winning drama, Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom is an original story written in collaboration with Peaky Blinders’ producer and brand owner Caryn Mandabach Productions, and with series creator and writer Steven Knight. The game is created in partnership with Banijay Brands, the commercial arm of media and entertainment powerhouse Banijay.
Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom is available now on Meta Quest 2 and PICO 4 (in all markets where PICO is available, including Europe, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea) for £24.99 / €29.99 / $29.99.
