Westworld: Awakening Arrives on Steam, Oculus & in VR Arcades Today

Surviving is just another loop—or is it? Today, Survios is proud to launch a project almost two years in the making: Westworld: Awakening, an official Westworld experience created exclusively for VR. Westworld: Awakening can be played right now in VR arcades, and is also available for $29.99 on Steam, Viveport, and Oculus Home.

Working in close partnership with HBO and Kilter Films’ Westworld team, Survios’s development team threw themselves into the same process that goes into each Westworld episode: a painstakingly detail-oriented writers’ room focused on story, character arcs, and evocative performances. Combined with cutting-edge motion-capture technology, interactive reproductions of familiar in-show environments (and never-before-seen areas within the Mesa), and transportive voice work, Westworld: Awakening is one of the most immersive, story-driven experiences in VR. 

Set during the events of Westworld Season 2, Westworld: Awakening is a narrative-driven single-player stealth exploration game where you become Kate, an unassuming host who suddenly attains the late Dr. Ford’s “gift” of self-awareness. Staring down a dangerous underworld where nothing is what it seems, Kate undergoes a journey of both survival and self-discovery where she must take matters into her own hands.

Navigate Delos’ labyrinthine laboratories and offices, encounter iconic Westworld scenes and settings, solve interactive puzzles, and interact with (and, if necessary, manipulate) other hosts, but don’t get too complacent. Hank, a relentless serial killer host whose loop is hell-bent on murder, is in constant pursuit of his next target: you. And there are security personnel ready to retire any host they see with a single shot. To escape, plunge into the Mesa’s depths and unearth the secrets of this mechanical world created to enslave and destroy you.

Westworld: Awakening is a powerful interactive VR experience that’s much more than a game: it’s a rumination on identity, memory, history, agency, and power—and what it means to reclaim them for yourself. Do you dare discover the answers?

Descend into Westworld: Awakening today at your local VR arcade and on Steam, Viveport, and Oculus Home.
