VR Shooter ‘Forefront’ Opens Alpha for 16 vs. 16 Multiplayer Action

Oh, man, where do I even start with this? So, there’s this game called Forefront—ever heard of it? Probably not, but hey, it’s diving headfirst into the whole VR scene, trying to shake things up with some wild 16 vs. 16 fights. Yes, you heard right, SIXTEEN people on each side. Seems big, might be chaos—who really knows until you try it?

Anyway, Triangle Factory (yep, the folks who did that VR thing Breachers—pretty solid game) just kind of dropped this open alpha out of nowhere. It’s like, surprise! No frills, just “here you go, dive in, tell us what you think, and don’t break our servers, please.” Wonder how that’s gonna pan out.

Now, what’s got me curious is how they’re managing this whole big battle vibe with tanks and helicopters buzzing around like an angry swarm. Most VR multiplayers are like, I dunno, 4 vs. 4, max 8 vs. 8, so this is like trying to fit 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5-pound sack. Could be awesome, could be a mess. Betting on both, honestly.

So, here’s the lowdown. They’ve got this alpha thing going, but blink and you’ll miss it. You’ve got just 24 hours to jump in now, plus a bit more from August 15–17th. Want in? Well, grab your digital compass and head over to their Discord. That’s your treasure map. Sort of.

Oh, and it’s not just on one device either. No, they’re throwing it out onto Quest 2, Quest 3, maybe even Quest 3S—what’s that about, right?—and Steam. Kind of feeling like they’re casting a wide net here. Bold move. Could be dumb, but also could be genius. We’ll see—I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath.
