Sony has released a short new teaser trailer for RIGS Mechanised Combat League, the upcoming PlayStation VR exclusive game from Guerrilla Cambridge. The trailer features the eponymous RIGS – large mechs that are piloted in high-octane competitive arena-like matches.
Given the game’s future sports-aesethetic, it could potentially become a streaming spectator favourite, much like Rocket League. Sony’s vice president of marketing, John Koller, previously said that he sees a lot of potential in RIGS as far as eSports goes:
“It requires a few things to work. RIGS is best played with six players and it’s a real competitive type of situation. Not all games are developed that way, so we’ll just have to see what comes along."
RIGS does have a singleplayer mode, but not much has been said about how it’s structured, other than players will need to “seek world dominance”.
RIGS Mechanised Combat League launches with the PlayStation VR hardware on October 13 worldwide. The game requires a PlayStation Camera, but can be controlled with a DualShock 4 gamepad. You can find even more footage of the game in action here.
