Thank you to all those who’ve been playing GORN 2 so far! We’re excited to unleash the Bekivu update today!

BEKIVU mode is a variant of endless - here, you never regain health after taking damage. It's hard. Good luck.

We've added random bonus objectives in endless to help deal with the new challenge

• In Custom Mode, you can change settings via the menu IN THE ARENA, and can also SPAWN ANY WEAPON you have unlocked
  
• There are 5 new gold weapons to unlock by reaching certain kill count milestones in BEKIVU mode
  

Also in this patch:

• Increased maximum number of enemies in Custom
  
• Increased maximum number of enemies in Endless
  
• Reduced number of shield-wielding enemies in Endless
  
• Added the tougher glasses-wearing enemies to Endless
  
• Fixed and improved mosquito spawning in Blood Endless
  
• Added more weapon type variety to Flesh, Blood, and Bone Endless,
  
• Improved Endless banner and UI readability
  
• Made arrow damage to the player more fair
  
• Added delays between enemy's Nail Gun fire
  
• Made enemy's Nail Gun aim more accurate so you can block it more reliably
  
• Made slicing even easier
  
• Give you 1 second of invulnerability after a successful parry
  
• You can toggle your grip on and off instead of having to hold down the button
  
• As an EXTRA BONUS the game now runs on 90 Hz on Quest 3
  

So you think our game is too easy? Well taste Bekivu. Satisfaction unguaranteed.

The ludicrously violent VR gladiator simulator from our new partners at Cortopia, working alongside original series creators Free Lives, returns with even more absurdity, letting you smash, stab, decapitate, and generally dismember your way through the celestial afterlife where the souls of all the gladiators you slaughtered in the first game now dwell—and kill them again.

Discover new weapons, new arenas, new traps, new enemies, and new bosses as you raise Hell in the heavens and prove your battle prowess before an army of terrifying foes.

Back in 2019, virtual reality was in a very different place. The original Oculus Quest had just launched, bringing untethered VR gaming to the masses, while Valve had entered the hardware space with the high-end Index. It was a breakthrough moment for VR—one that felt like the first true consumer boom for the platform. Alongside hardware innovations came a wave of standout games: Half-Life: Alyx, Blood & Truth, and nestled among them, GORN—a wild, over-the-top, physics-driven gladiator brawler from indie developer Free Lives. With its cartoonishly violent combat, flailing limbs, and a complete disregard for realism, GORN quickly became a fan favourite and even a system seller.

But that was six years ago. In the years since, the landscape of VR has changed significantly. Meta has released the Quest 2 and 3, pushing for better performance, wireless play, and comfort. Sony has doubled down with PSVR2, and the games themselves have become more ambitious and immersive. As someone... Read more
