Produced by the creative team behind the hit TV series Survivorman, Survivorman VR: The Descent is a first-person adventure simulator that gives players a simple challenge: survive a helicopter crash in the Arctic mountains and make their way to safety. Tasked with braving the wilderness and freezing temperatures, players engage in a raw test of endurance, smarts, and skill, all while working under the watchful eye of Les Stroud himself. As they descend down the cliff face, survivalists learn to navigate icy ravines, treacherous rivers, and daring rock faces as they find their way to safety. With direct expertise from Les Stroud in the making of the game, the challenges experienced in Survivorman VR: The Descent are rooted in authentic survival.
A true survivalist in every sense of the word, Les Stroud, who pioneered the survival television genre with his hit TV show Survivorman, is considered a teacher and mentor, above all. After decades of educating viewers on how to scrape together a shelter and make fire from essentially nothing, he’s bringing survival lessons to players in the most immersive form of audio-visual simulation: virtual reality.
Key Features of Survivorman VR: The Descent:
  • Learn from a True Survival Legend: Les Stroud is an iconic survivalist who has proven time and time again he’s the best there is at what he does. Lucky for you, he’ll be your guide during your own authentic survival experience in Survivorman VR
  • Photorealistic First-Person Action: Explore a truly immersive world that will include all of the extremes of mountain-top survival
  • Fire, Shelter, Food: Surviving extreme environments means paying attention to the state of your body. Keep a close eye on your body temperature, fatigue, and hunger with a handy diegetic HUD-like display mounted on your wrist!
  • Cutting Edge VR Tech: Les Stroud is brought to life using Cream’s patented proprietary technology Dynamic Digital Humans (DDH), created in partnership with Sheridan’s SIRT, to produce realistic-looking 3D avatars for VR and AR

Survivorman VR: The Descent launches on Meta Quest 2 and the upcoming Meta Quest 3 on October 18, 2023. You can wishlist the game on Steam today!
