A Fisherman's Tale Developer Announces New VR Spy Title

5 février 2026 à 23:53

InnerspaceVR, the studio behind popular titles like Maskmaker and A Fisherman's Tale, just announced a brand-new VR game titled Spymaster.

In Spymaster, developer InnerspaceVR draws influence from classic spy thrillers like Mission: Impossible and Ocean’s Eleven to deliver a suave, stylish experience that will allow gamers to live out their James Bond fantasies in immersive VR. The player controls three secret agents, each with their own special skills and abilities, as they set out to stop the evil Protocore organization from using a global surveillance system to enact their nefarious plans for world domination.

As part of the spy agency NODE, the player will have access to a special gadget to help with their mission: the C.A.S.S.E.T.T.E device that allows them to rewind time. This in turn lets them replay missions and try to devise the perfect strategy to save the day. Players can also run, climb, slide, zipline, and shoot through increasingly perilous environments on dynamic missions that include defusing bombs and poisoning criminals.

In Spymaster's announcement press release, InnerspaceVR co-founder Balthazar Auxietre says that this latest game has been the most challenging for the studio to produce, as it required the devs to explore a new type of gameplay that combines "puzzle and action mechanics in a way that has never been done in VR," while still building on the narrative frameworks from past projects like A Fisherman's Tale.

There is no exact release date for Spymaster yet, but InnerspaceVR plans to launch the game in Early Access at some point in 2026 on Meta Quest and PC VR by way of SteamVR. The developer will also demo Spymaster at the upcoming GDC Festival of Gaming in San Francisco next month.

GOLF+ Shares Update On Mixed Reality Golf Simulation

5 février 2026 à 23:49

GOLF+, shared a new video showcasing an in-development mixed reality golf simulator.

As part of last week's GOLF+ roadmap announcement, which we covered here, CEO Ryan Engle mentioned golf simulators as a key focus for the company. Today, Engle has revealed a short video demonstrating how just such a technology would work in the real world.

Golf simulators use screens and launch monitors to allow players to shoot their shot with physical clubs and real golf balls. The velocity and path of the ball are shown on a large screen in real time, allowing the player to play courses from all over the world without ever stepping foot outdoors. Players can play in bars, clubs, at dedicated golf sim facilities, in cities, in their own homes, etc.

Golf simulators have become more popular over the last few years as technology has improved. The big challenge with golf simulators, however, lies in their relative inability to successfully replicate the sport's short game and putting.

Engle believes the solution to this shortcoming is a combined ecosystem of launch monitor and VR headset, and if the video provided is anything to go by, the team may be onto something. While this is a project very much in the development phase, things do look promising.

We'll be sure to keep you updated on future developments in GOLF+, and in the virtual golf space at large.
