Vertigo Games, a studio that's made a name for itself within the virtual reality space, is dropping VR for its next release.
The 7th Guest Remake has been announced, and it's a regular, PS5 version of the company's PSVR2 rendition from 2023.
As far as we're aware, this marks the first time Vertigo has not included virtual reality in any capacity in a game release, which is pretty interesting in itself, especially as whatever momentum VR had is coming to a fairly abrupt stop.
It also seems like this is an entirely separate release; there's no word on whether owners of the VR game will be able to claim the non-VR version.

The 7th Guest Remake is essentially a port of the VR game for flat displays. In case you don't know, it's also a remake of an iconic FMV mystery adventure game from 1993.
It features brand new FMV performance capture and a mansion full of puzzles to decipher. You explore the house in first-person and gradually open up new spaces as you solve puzzles and gather more of the story.
We actually quite liked the PSVR2 version, though at the time it was held back by a number of pesky bugs. If the new version arrives with a higher degree of polish, this could definitely be worth revisiting.
There's no date yet, but the game is "coming soon". Are you interested in The 7th Guest Remake coming to PS5? Tell us in the comments section below.

I'm so annoyed with myself for buying a PSVR2. I adore VR but am shocked by Sony's lack of support. Just some PSVR1 ports would have helped.
I can't think of another peripheral/platform that has been dropped so quickly by its own manufacturer ever. Not even Labo.
Really wish Sony invested even a fraction of effort it did into live service, into VR. Hard for something to be successful when it was treated the way it was .
This website is supposed to support PlayStation?
If a game is reviewed as poor it gets a poor review fair enough.
Why are you attacking PSVR2? Are you trying to end all sales are you trying to discourage developers not to consider porting or making games for it?
Yes it’s niche…that does not mean you have to try and publicly destroy it. Review games in on their merits. It’s comments like you have made turn people away who maybe considering. That intern affects developers, people jobs.
Constant rumors of PS6 and Portal 2, I you going to start telling people to wait and not purchase PS5 or the Pro?
SUPPORT THE GAMES INDUSTRY!
Your words reach a lot of people who make opinions what you say. Your comments are killing developers or just deciding not to port.
Unless you hate VR you should know PSVR2 is a very decent piece of hardware.
@Snowrunner yup. It was a self-fulfilled prophesy from the beginning.
I had a great time with this on PS VR2! If this is successful, I’d love it if means they could move on to do 11th Hour, too.
Steam console and steam frame's impending success will make a mockery of Sony's approach to psvr2.
@Snowrunner There is no attack here. All they did was state a fact. The PSVR2 is a failed product. A great piece of tech but one that was not supported by developers at all due to poor sales. Nowhere in the article did they say the PSVR2 is bad, just forgotten by Sony.
@ThatOtherNewGuy You mean Valve's approach of funding 0 VR games for the Frame? That is less than Sony did for PSVR2.
@Snowrunner yep a very decent piece of hardware. how much were they £299..Jesus Christ almighty!!!...but still a very decent piece of hardware.
@ThatOtherNewGuy *I hope. And through competition panic Sony into more support
@PloverNutter @PloverNutter it is not even out yet. Do you know valves inside strategy?
Another glaring and LOUD example of how extremely bad Sony has been to their fan base this generation. I wanted VR but, Sony has showed me this generation they don't care about the gamer. Astro bot VR was literally one of the best games ever made, why didn't the new astro bot game have a VR mode?
I blame sites like @Pushsquare that stay silent and would not call Sony out and ***** because they want their review copy codes. ' As a PS site, I would think @Pushsquare would push back, but no, they have champion every stupid thing Sony has done. @Pushsquare tired to justify to me why the new God of War game is good. @Pushsquare has written articles justifying Sony stupidity pr try to make it look less stupid.
The whole, dynamic price article, there was not enough push back.
It's because most of Sony fans are fine with mediocrity and they think they are eating so gooood with all these great amazing games, Sony will continue to put their middle finger in places it should not go, and most of the fan base will actually be happy with that middle finger, heck some would ask for two fingers.
@ThatOtherNewGuy Impending success? Most valve’s hardware barely breaks 5 millions. Maybe it’ll be a success internally. But to most of the general public… it will be a flop.
Jesus Christ this website can be a right Debbie Downer sometimes.
PSVR along with Move and all those other gimmicks never interested me, heck we barely use the motion controls on controllers. Can't be looking like a clown throwing hands around imaginary things with family in the house.
@PloverNutter I agreed, it is a failed product. I'm not buying it and I purchase VR1.0 and VR2.0 during PS4 era. The lack of tru competition is why Sony is acting like this. But @pushsquare would push back and say no it's not. But it's pretty obvious.
@TheArt Sounds like you have no fun in life. When best to look like a clown?!?
@CaptD My dude life can be a Debbie Downers sometimes, have you read a newspaper lately? That's life, people should be able to voice their opinion good or bad. Sounds like the Nintendo Switch was your first console.
Well I'm still buying the psvr2 because I want to play gt7 with my steering wheel and through the psvr2. @Snowrunner take a chill pill mate. I'm not always happy with pushsquare but Jesus bud..
I already own this game of PSVR2, so my interest in a flat version is minimal. If this release draws more people to the game and puts more money in the developer’s pocket, I’m all for it. The game industry isn’t in great shape, and the VR market is in even worse shape with Meta shutting down multiple VR game studios and backing away from VR support. I can’t fault the developer for trying to recoup costs, so I can only hope the port comes out well. If the VR game hadn’t come out first, I’d be excited to play a 7th Guest Remake on modern consoles.
Smart move from them. They did enough to support VR as far as I understand and if they find more success with traditional ways at least we will have new good games to play.
Is dropping VR for their new release? They already released it as a VR game three years ago. Maybe do some research if your going to dump all over a gaming format?
