Vertigo 2 Bottomless Update
Mutators bring major gameplay modifications that can be mixed and matched. Some mutators make the game harder, some make it easier, and some are just silly.
Alternate Playable Characters let you replay the campaign as Brian, Officer 13, or Nani. Each of them have major unique abilities and attributes that change up the experience of playing through the game a second, third, or fourth time.
The Level Editor gives you complete freedom to build your own levels or play the ones the community has shared. A flexible and intuitive in-VR level editor makes this easy, no SDK or modding experience required.
Here's a short trailer to celebrate the launch!
A longer trailer from last week goes over the new features in detail:

Vertigo 2 Bottomless Update: Coming November 10th
Since Vertigo 2's release in March I have been working hard on this free update. It's finally ready for the spotlight, and I'm happy to announce that the Vertigo 2 Bottomless Update will be releasing on November 10th, just a week from today! Check out the trailer here:
The bottomless update has three key features, all of which are focused on replayability and long term enjoyment.
Mutators bring major gameplay modifications that can be mixed and matched. Some mutators make the game harder, some make it easier, and some are just silly.
Alternate Playable Characters let you replay the campaign as Brian, Officer 13, or Nani. Each of them have major unique abilities and attributes that change up the experience of playing through the game a second, third, or fourth time.
The Level Editor gives you complete freedom to build your own levels or play the ones the community has shared. A flexible and intuitive in-VR level editor makes this easy, no SDK or modding experience required.
Lots of other bug fixes, balance adjustments, QOL changes, and performance improvements have been made in the course of working on this update. A full change list will be available next Friday when it releases. I hope you enjoy this update and the extended life it gives the game!
7/5 Patch
- Fixed invisible walls in Sintho boss fight after respawning
- Fixed inaccurate post-credits popups
PSA: I've seen an increase in reports of crashing while loading levels, and it seems that this can be fixed by simply verifying your game files. So if you're getting crashes, try that!
