Sci-fi horror hasn’t really had a champion on consoles since Dead Space, but The Persistence looks like a worthy addition to the genre. A procedurally generated title for PlayStation VR, the title sees you whisked away to a far-flung corner of the galaxy, where a black hole investigation has gone horribly awry.

You’ll play as a character awakening to the madness from cryo-sleep, and each time you die you’ll respawn as a new human with different skills and abilities. Over time you’ll collect currency which will allow you to buff your starting player, but early doors you’ll find yourself outmuscled by the mutated enemies that you encounter.

This one’s looking and sounding really good, we must admit. Check out the video above for an interview with the developer and a bunch of gameplay footage.
