Gonzo’s Quest VR

News came earlier this year that NetEnt’s classic title Gonzo’s Quest was getting a VR makeover, and this was debuted for the first time at this year’s ICE Gaming Conference.When talking at the time of the announcement, Per Eriksson, CEO of NetEnt, said:“We firmly believe that VR has a given place in the future of online gaming based on our research and the trends we monitor.”When asked recently when the first NetEnt VR slot would be appearing, he said that it would be in the first quarter of 2018 at the absolute latest, and gave the impression that there would be more than one on the market by the end of next year!

At the ICE Conference in 2016, NetEnt proved that their commitment to innovation and an immersive gaming experience was unmatched, following that up at this year’s conference with the sneak peek of Gonzo’s Quest VR has cemented this reputation.It is clear that despite the Swedish software giant having an incredible reputation, there is no intention from the company to rest on their laurels, coasting along just isn’t something they do. NetEnt clearly want to find out the limits of what they’re capable of, and that’s great news for all of us!
