Lore & Background
Asgard's Wrath 2 continues the story from its predecessor, Asgard's Wrath (2019). Players control a Norse god who possesses mortals with important destinies. After being betrayed by Loki in the first game, the protagonist is freed from bondage and sent to Egypt, where they interact with Egyptian gods and seek revenge on Loki. The game features an open world, four playable characters each with their own story and skill tree, non-player character interactions, minigames, puzzles, and combat with enemies and bosses. Players are assisted by followers who also have their own stories.
Reader's Guide
Development began shortly after Asgard's Wrath's release in late 2019 by California-based Sanzaru Games. Due to Meta's commitment to standalone devices and discontinuation of the Oculus Rift family, the sequel became exclusive to standalone Meta headsets. Sanzaru Games was acquired by Meta's Oculus Studios in 2020. The game was announced alongside the Meta Quest 3 on June 1, 2023, and released on December 15, 2023, bundled with all Meta Quest 3 purchases until January 27, 2024. Asgard's Wrath 2 was Sanzaru Games' last project before its closure by Meta on January 13, 2026. The game received universal acclaim, with IGN giving it a perfect score and calling it a new gold standard for VR. UploadVR praised its epic scale but noted it was not substantially different from non-VR AAA role-playing games. NPR's reviewer called it his new favorite VR game, and Siliconera praised it as a well-crafted endeavor while noting graphics limitations compared to non-VR platforms.
