The last week saw Meta shine a spotlight on the library of upcoming games Meta Quest 2 owners have to look forward to over the coming months, capitalizing on the hardware’s strong, ongoing sales. Among the games shown off during the April 20 showcase,Metaand developer Polyarc gave a new look atMoss: Book 2on the Quest 2. The new trailer highlights the combination of combat and puzzle-platforming from the game, along with a release window for the Quest 2.
Moss: Book 2continues the journey of the young, brave mouse Quill after her defeat of the serpent Sarffog in the first game. Quill now finds herself hunted by a merciless group known as the Arcane seeking to rip the powerful glass she holds to secure their rule over Quill’s home. Players are once again tasked with aiding the mouse in her battle, guiding her leaps and sword in an effort to extinguish this new evil once and for all.

As mentioned above, the newest trailer forMoss: Book 2released as part of the2022 Meta Quest Gaming Showcasealongside games likeGhostbusters VRandAmong Us VR. The trailer offered a short glimpse at the combat and some of the enemies the young mouse will cross blades with during her adventure. The trailer then closes with promotional art showcasing a few characters Quill will meet along the way and, more importantly, confirmation the game is dropping during Summer 2022, though no exact date was set.
Players shouldn’t be surprised to see the game already coming out on the Quest 2, potentially shortening the gap between thePSVRrelease and Quest release. The number of Quest 2 owners continues to grow, with Meta posting over 8.7 million units sold in 2021 and is reportedly sitting around 10 million units sold as of April 2022, according to the International Data Corporation. This level of success and growth means developers will be more inclined to get their games on to the Quest 2 faster than they had in the past.
The question now becomes when in the summer couldMoss: Book 2potentially release? It would not be surprising to see Meta and Polyarc release the game around the time of either the2022 Summer Games Festin June or Gamescom in August. Surprise game releases are nothing new for smaller titles during events like these. The only risk for releasing around these events isMosscould end up getting lost in the shuffle depending on other potential releases and general news surrounding these events.
Moss: Book 2is scheduled to release on Meta Quest 2 in Summer 2022 and is currently available on PlayStation VR.
