Neolithic Dawn Early Access Launch for Meta Quest
Neolithic Dawn, the exciting upcoming VR survival adventure from indie team Neolithic is almost ready to welcome adventurers on Meta Quest. Players will head back to 10,000 BC North America, soaking up the atmosphere of this prehistoric world on 27th June 2025.
Step into the shoes of a hunter-gatherer and tame this wilderness as your story unfolds. Discovered by a tribe as a baby, the player's journey will be long and fraught with danger as they rediscover their homeland and become the next Star Seeker. However, this is not a quest of one person, but of generations. Neolithic Dawn features multi-generational permadeath, in which each time death occurs, players become their descendants, returning 20 years later. In doing so, experiencing generational changes to the landscape, passing on skills and seeing the world evolve.
A VR survival game built around realistic physics, players will be able to craft tools and weapons by hand, climb cliff faces and more. They’ll have to choose between hunting Ice Age animals for food or taming them for a valuable companion. All whilst experiencing real-time day/night cycles and dynamic weather systems across five open-world maps.
"What began as a solo project has grown into a four-year journey of relentless passion and grit,” said James Bellian, CEO & Founder of Neolithic. “Neolithic Dawn’s Early Access launch stands as a testament to our team’s dedication and the incredible support of our community."
