The next Meta Quest Gaming Showcase is all set for next month. Meta, formerly known as Facebook, announced the details of the event’s “when” and “where” on Wednesday. But the company is keeping the surprise on what games are going to be featured at the event.
VR gaming fans might still be more familiar with the event’s former name, “Oculus Gaming Showcase.” However, it can be recalled that after Facebook changed its name to Meta, it also dropped the Oculus brand for its VR products. That led to the renaming of the annual presentation as the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase.
This year, the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase takes place on Wednesday, April 20, at 10 a.m. PT. The event will be streamed on various channels, including Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and Oculus TV. Fans can also RSVP and follow future updates (if there are any) through its official Facebook Events page.
Unfortunately, Meta did not provide any clue on what games are going to be presented at the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase or how long the event would run. It can be recalled that last year’s presentation took about 25 minutes and also featured teasers for the then-upcoming “Resident Evil 4 VR” game.
As for the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase next month, the official blog post mentions that there will be “new game announcements, gameplay first-looks, updates on games coming in the next year.” Meanwhile, the Facebook Events page also indicates there will be updates about “launches” and “sequels.”
With this much hype being established for the event, some AAA titles could be included in the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase lineup this year. In last year’s Facebook Connect, the company announced that Rockstar Games’ “GTA: San Andreas” is getting a VR version that will exclusively launch on the Meta Quest 2. Rockstar and Meta have yet to release a gameplay teaser, and the upcoming event could be the right venue to finally make that happen.
Also, it has been a while since Meta and Ubisoft provided an update on the “Splinter Cell” and “Assassin’s Creed” VR games, which are exclusively launching on Meta’s VR family. Both titles were originally announced in 2020 with Ubisoft’s Red Storm Entertainment leading the project.
