Cyberpunk Game Breaks Kickstarter VR Records With 625% Funding

With the upcoming release of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 the world has gone a little bit mad for the whole aesthetic, and for good reason.

Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t the only cyberpunk game to get excited about though, because Zenith is coming to VR and PC, and it’s looking seriously cool.

The MMO features a hybrid cyberpunk-and-fantasy style and promises crafting, exploring and socialising as just a few of its features.

The Kickstarter – which you can check out here – has absolutely smashed its goal, hitting its target in just four hours. The project is now funded at over 625% in less than two weeks, with close to 2000 backers making it the most successful VR-tagged Kickstarter project.

“Zenith is a VR MMO inspired by our favorite animes and JRPGs, where millions of people can play, socialize, and create their own unique experience together,” reads the game description.

“Fight, craft, explore, and live in the first cross platform VR MMO. Forge alliances and friendships in guilds and parties. Participate in epic raids and world events, or go blaze your own path. Become forever immortalized in a world that will become as important as the real one.

“If you don’t have VR yet, you’ll be able to play Zenith on your desktop, too! 

“Enter Zenith and become the hero you were destined to be.”

The development team cites games like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and Nier: Automata as just a few of their inspirations, along with anime including Sword Art Online and Castle in the Sky.

 “We’re overwhelmed by the support our backers and community as we work together as co-creators to realize our shared vision for a cross-platform VR and PC living anime world,” said Andy Tsen, co-founder of Ramen VR.
