Our take on Raw Data
Its defining detail is physical VR combat: weapons are pulled from a body-mounted loadout, while actions such as dual-wielding, sword attacks, projectile deflection, and close-range strikes use tracked movement.
What is Raw Data?
Raw Data is a virtual-reality action game set in Neo-Shinjuku in 2271, where the SyndiK8 resistance attacks Eden Tower.
Players become elite operatives seeking stolen information and investigating the truth behind Eden Corp’s robotic products. Combat relies on physical VR movement, with options such as using two pistols, pumping shotguns, swinging katanas, redirecting incoming fire, and striking at close range. Several heroes bring distinct weapons, abilities, fighting methods, and ultimate moves. Solo play and cross-platform online co-op with one friend are available. Hostile Takeover PvP features team battles involving as many as five players per side on several king-of-the-hill arenas. Foes include drones, mechs, laser gunners, crawlers, and other machines.
