Main features

A new gaming experience

Immerse yourself in fantasy: The game occurs within the fantasy world of Ultima Realms, where 12 fantasy factions clash on your board. Your factions have distinctive appearance and animations – from noble knights to primordial monsters. Your atmosphere will vary with your choice of theme: you play your games on lavish cities floating in the skies, in historic halls, or on a tropical island filled with pirates.

Play from a new perspective in VR: Switch between top-down (conventional board point of view) and piece's level mode, where you stand amongst warring pawns and knights. Immersion is guaranteed – examine pieces at a close range, observe how they fight, or control combat's dynamics above, as in the case of a commander. To simplify navigation, a mini-board panel, such as on an analogue board, has been implemented.

Be a hero in a chess legend

Battle against formidable foes and rise as a grandmaster among Ultima's players. It's just as fascinating for VR players looking for something new to do as for players of traditional chess looking to bring back old favorites. Be prepared to move off the board – and onto a legendary battle of wits in Ultima Chess VR.

It's releasing on <u>2026 – ADD TO WISHLIST</u> and don't miss out on it!
