MEET THE DEVS!
To celebrate the much awaited opening of the Social Hub, we are organising our very first multiplayer session in Fruitasia! Come meet the Developers of Fruit Ninja VR 2 and try to beat their scores, or even just hang out and chat about your experience with our game.
Don't worry if you can't make it for this session - we have 6 regional servers opening this weekend so you will be able to find other Ninjas to train with. You can switch regions in the game as well to play with other Ninjas across the world!
For more information, check out our Discord. Have fun & happy slicing!
Multiplayer v1.0!
Welcome Ninjas! For so long, you’ve sliced and diced fruit alone in this world. Now get ready to meet your fellow Ninjas in the Social Hub!
We will be opening the Multiplayer servers on 28th July at 8pm PST (29th July, 1pm AEST). You can open private lobbies to play with just your friends or join open lobbies to play with other Ninjas in your area! Show off your skills with the bow and arrow or swords in a series of challenges spread around the arena.
The Juice Hub is open and taking orders – grab fruits and slice them accordingly to serve thirsty customers. Can you keep up with the demand? Grab fruit from the nearby crates and start a fruit fight! Challenge other to a Ninjas to a shootout, we have safety plungers just in case you miss. 😉
Check out our Discord for more information and meet other Fruit Ninjas! Have fun & happy slicing! 🍉
🕹️ Arcade Time 🍉
We’re checking off another much-requested item on our player's wish lists: Arcade mode – new and improved!
Bonus Bananas 🍌 are back with new visuals and music to really add to that immersive experience. Slicing these juicy treats has some interesting effects on your gameplay as well as your environment! Is the challenge getting too hot for you? Slice a Freeze Banana when it comes and watch as a blanket of snow takes over the Cherry Blossom Garden!
For those high-achieving competitive Ninjas out there, we have a leader board specifically for Arcade mode ready for you to start slicing and dicing. Feeling confident? Show off your skills and share with other Ninjas in training on our Discord at: https://discord.gg/fnvr2

Smooth Locomotion!
🏃️💨 Smooth Locomotion
When we first released FNVR2, there were 2 options for travelling around the map in the game: blink teleport or dash. Through discussions with our players on our Discord, it was clear a more natural and immersive way to explore Fruitasia would improve the experience and that’s something we’ve been working on!
In this latest update, you can now travel smoothly by pushing the analogue stick on your controllers in any direction. Need to jump to access some areas? Just press in the movement thumbstick and you’ll be able to aim and dash across gaps with no issue. You will also be able to choose between moving in the direction you are facing or moving in the direction your hand is pointing. If it's still not moving as you'd like, the movement and rotation speeds can also be customised in the Ninja Scroll settings tab!
We're always looking to improve the game with your feedback, feel free to join our Discord!
🎯 Archery Levels
We have also added new content to the game in the form of 12 NEW Archery levels spread across 3 setlists. These levels are intended to introduce new players to the Archery mode and provide experienced players a chance to master the fundamentals
More exciting updates coming soon, so keep an eye on this space!
HAPPY SLICING! 🍉
