Coming \u201csoon\u201d to the Quest platform, the multiplayer VR experience looks a lot like the popular vehicular soccer game <em>Rocket League<\/em>, only instead of driving rocket-powered cars, players instead use a bow and arrow to <em>knock<\/em> (oh my god I just got it) the ball into their opponents net.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, the company released an official announcement trailer for the game, teasing a fast-paced competitive experience with a one-of-a-kind look. Based on the footage provided, it appears as though players will have access to a variety of different bows and arrows. At one point in the video, a player uses their bow to spawn a geometric object in order to ricochet the ball into the net. That said, it looks as though working with your team to develop new strategies will be a major part of <em>NOCK<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5sDSyejhxRs?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Other than that very little is known about the game. According to Normal VR, we can expect the game to launch \u201csoon\u201d on Quest headsets. Upon closer inspection, <em>NOCK <\/em>appears to feature several elements from \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vQaq6YxgnqA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starball<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d one of several minigames included in the developer\u2019s first VR game, <em>Half+Half<\/em>. Whereas<em> NOCK<\/em> pits players against one another in a conventional arena, \u201cStarball\u201d has teams duking it out high above the clouds using virtual hand gliders. If <em>NOCK<\/em> is even half as fun as this underrated gem, we could be looking at one of the best competitive VR games of the year.<\/p>\n<p><em>NOCK<\/em> is expected to launch \u201csoon\u201d on Quest headsets. No word yet on the official price tag. Hopefully, we\u2019ll learn more details regarding this unique-looking experience soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Feature Image Credit: Normal VR<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/vrscout.com\/news\/rocket-league-meets-archery-meets-vr-in-nock-coming-soon-to-quest\/\">Source: https:\/\/vrscout.com\/news\/rocket-league-meets-archery-meets-vr-in-nock-coming-soon-to-quest\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1580321,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","type":"","auto_type":false,"post":"","stream":"","stream_url":"","waveform_data":[],"duration":0,"start":0,"end":0,"bpm":0,"downloadable":false,"download_url":"","purchase_title":"","purchase_url":"","post-count-all":0,"like_count":0,"download_count":0,"editor_note":"","copyright":"","captions":[],"sources":[]},"genre":[10309],"station_tag":[9160,3880,9080,3820,4139,4555,3828,4375,3830,6978,9162,3892,4248,5167,9163,3794,8066,3729,3772,4005,3902,4566,3801,3650,4186,9082,3653,5689,3703,3734,4318,9169,3959,10997,5436,4660,460,3662,3861,3863,9767,4017,3665,6167,11815,5440,3874,3933,4551,15830,15815,3815,9608,3717,468],"artist":[10458],"mood":[],"activity":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station\/1580320"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/station"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1580320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=1580320"},{"taxonomy":"station_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/station_tag?post=1580320"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=1580320"},{"taxonomy":"mood","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mood?post=1580320"},{"taxonomy":"activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platodata.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity?post=1580320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
