At least once in their lives, many gamers dreamed of running their very own arcade. Well, developer LAI Games plans to bring these fantasies to life in their upcoming title Arcade Legend. The virtual reality simulation game allows players to build and operate their own arcade from the ground up. Arcade Legend is currently in development, with a 2022 release window for both Steam and the Oculus Quest Store.
In Arcade Legend, the player inherits an old arcade with a rich history. While the building may not seem like much at first, it’s the player’s goal to restore the historical entertainment hub to its former glory. Before you can open for business, early tasks involve cleaning and renovating the building. During this stage, the player can also personalize their arcade with a wide range of customization options.
Once the building is renovated, the player can begin filling their arcade with a diverse catalogue of licensed games. As people visit the arcade, the player earns revenue and builds reputation. Players can spend their accrued revenue and reputation to unlock new games and attractions.
A Social Hub for Gamers
All of the arcade games are playable with compatibility for both single-player and multi-player modes. Arcade Legend aims to create an online social hub where players can chill and play a variety of classic games together. There will also be a global leaderboard where you can compete against the best players in the world. Shannon Perell, Head of Product Development at LAI Games, discusses the goal to create a social online arcade.
As arcade game developers, it’s our goal to deliver accessible, rewarding and unique games and experiences to players heading out for a good time with their friends and families. Arcades are such a special and unique social space, and we’re so excited to have the opportunity to bring an authentic arcade gaming experience to both Steam and Oculus Quest.
