‘Ultimechs’ Season 2 Arrives with Fast-paced Arcade Mode, UltiPass & 75 New Unlockable Items

Ultimechs (2022), the rocket-fist-powered VR sport from Resolution Games, just released its second season, bringing a bunch of new features including a new UltiPass with more unlockable items, and an Arcade Mode that’s certain to speed up the fast-paced game in some new ways, and also remove some the strings of having to compete.

Ultimechs is a free-to-play sports game inspired by Rocket League where you either go head-to-head with another player or team up in 2v2 co-op as you guide a massive ball into your opponent’s goal.

Having launched back in September on Meta Quest, Pico, and SteamVR headsets, the fast-paced sports game is now heading into its second season starting today. Take a look at the season 2 trailer below:

Ultimechs’ new arcade mode ups the ante by making gloves return faster, shortening cooldowns, and increasing the number of Supercharges in the arena so you can go full blast in the game of rockety-fisty-ball.

As a part of the second season, players can also put their earned XP towards a new UltiPass, the Ultimechs battle pass which is said to include 75 new items ready to unlock across 50 levels in the Premium for 950 of its in-game currency. The newest addition in UltiPass Season 2: GauntJet Trails.

GauntJet Trails are a new customization option that follows you rocket fists every time they’re fired, and include things like a flurry of butterflies and lightning. This nearly doubles the number of cosmetic items you can use to personalize your Ultimech, including paint jobs, headgear, glove accessories, poses and banners.

The new UltiPass can be purchased on XYZ Quest Store, Pico, and SteamVR

Resolution Games to Host VR Games Showcase December 15th, Promises “major game announcements”

Resolution Games, the XR studio known for a spate of popular VR titles including Demeo, Blaston, and Ultimechs, announced it’s hosting its first-ever games showcase later this month which the Stockholm-based studio promises will reveal “major game announcements, updates and timely surprises for VR and MR games enthusiasts.”

The Resolution Games Showcase is slated to go live on YouTube and Facebook on Thursday, December 15th at 12PM ET (local time here).

Resolution Games founder and CEO Tommy Palm along with other members of the team are set to show off games, updates and more in what Palm calls “the single-largest news day the studio has ever had.”

“With the holidays right around the corner, we’re poised to see many more gamers unwrap a headset and immerse themselves into VR for the very first time,” said Palm. “Our showcase – which will be the single-largest news day the studio has ever had – will provide a warm welcome to new VR players taking their first virtual steps alongside the millions of players who already enjoy our games as we share new and upcoming fun they have to look forward to from Resolution Games.”

The company has previously revealed its fifth adventure module to its flagship title Demeo, Reign of Madness. The free update is arriving on December 15th for both Quest and SteamVR headsets, with a release on Pico devices in early 2023.

In addition to The Black Sarcophagus adventure which initially launched with the game in 2021, Reign of madness follows three other free expansions: Realm of the Rat King, Roots of Evil, and Curse of the Serpent Lord. Reign of Madness is set to introduce the grappling hook-wielding Barbarian as Demeo’s latest playable class, pitting you and your party against “their greatest evil yet,” the studio says.

The studio is also teasing that “Reign of Madness won’t be the only present under the Showcase tree,” as the studio is set to reveal a new title that will be playable on December 15th that Palm says “will be unlike anything we’ve released before.”

To tune in live on December 15th, make sure to head over to the Resolution Games YouTube page or Facebook page.
