PS VR2 version of Last Labyrinth will be released on March 22! Major update to play without a headset is also available
February 22nd, Tokyo – Today, AMATA K.K. (part of the LL Project committee alongside VAP, Inc.) has made the decision to launch the PS VR2 version of VR Escape-the-Room Adventure Game Last Labyrinth on March 22nd, 2023. This PS VR2 version will include Last Labyrinth -Lucidity Lost- (hereinafter L4), a mode compatible with flat-panel monitors, making it possible to experience Last Labyrinth on the PlayStation®5 by itself without the PS VR2. Also, with the launch of the PS VR2 version, the major update that adds L4 will also be applied to the PS VR and SteamVR versions on March 22nd, 2023.
The Hit VR Game Last Labyrinth Takes Action Again!
After launching on various platforms in November 2019, VR Escape-the-Room Adventure Game Last Labyrinth has won various awards in Japan and the rest of the world while attracting attention for its gameplay. Heading into its 4th anniversary, Last Labyrinth takes action again in 2023.
The PS VR2 version of Last Labyrinth retains the original game elements, including the popular communication feature with virtual characters, while improving the memorable game experience using haptic feedback on the PS VR2 Sense controller, vibrations on the headset, and other unique features of the PS VR2.
On top of that, Last Labyrinth -Lucidity Lost- was added as a mode to play on the PS5 by itself so that players who do not have the PS VR2 can experience Last Labyrinth. When you launch the game, you can choose to play either the VR mode Last Labyrinth or the monitor mode L4. Since the save data and trophies are shared between the modes, it is possible to start playing the game on the monitor mode L4 and switch to the VR mode Last Labyrinth and continue playing.

About Last Labyrinth
An escape-the-room adventure game that can only be experienced in VR, Last Labyrinth was created specifically for the VR age. Players must work to escape a mansion full of hidden dangers with a mysterious girl that appears before them.
It was released on November 13th, 2019, launching on multiple platforms simultaneously all around the world, and the experiences it offers have been received very well, as demonstrated by the numerous nominations and awards it has won at game and VR award ceremonies in various countries.
And now, Last Labyrinth takes action again in February 2023.
We have decided to launch the PlayStation®5/ PlayStation®VR2 version, which contains the monitor mode Last Labyrinth -Lucidity Lost- that can be played without a VR headset, and apply the major update Last Labyrinth -Lucidity Lost- that adds the monitor mode to the PS4/Steam versions on March 22nd, 2023 (tentative).
Development of Last Labyrinth was spearheaded by Hiromichi Takahashi, director and producer of the acclaimed Doko Demo Issyo (PlayStation® 1999) series and co-creator of Toro (the Sony Cat).
Working alongside him was Co-Director Tetsuya Watanabe, previously a game designer on Puppeteer and The Last Guardian (in-game physics); Lead Animator Atsuko Fukuyama, best known for her work in animating the non-verbal characters that players work alongside with in ICO and Shadow of the Colossus; Lead Environment Artist Michiko Kusaba, who worked as a Landscape Designer on Gran Turismo 3:A-Spec and Gran Turismo 4; and Sound Designer Takuya Hanaoka, whose past works include Monster Rancher and the Super Robot Wars series.
With resumes featuring titles that are household names around the world, the team took on the unique challenge of creating a VR game that revolves around “non-verbal communication” and brought Katia and the world of Last Labyrinth to life.
Katia is the mysterious girl that players work together with throughout the game. She is voiced by Stefanie Joosten, the voice and likeness of Quiet from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015) and international model, actress, voice-actress and singer.
The Last Labyrinth theme song is composed by renowned video game music composer Hiroki Kikuta, whose works include the music of Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Sōkaigi and other titles. The theme song is also sung by Stefanie Joosten.
