Ultima Chess VR is an innovative VR game that combines classic chess mechanics with fantastic visuals and dynamic battles. Instead of simply moving pieces, each capture results in an energy-charged RPG fight – from terrifying monsters to heroes armed with magic and swords.
The game will feature twelve unique themed boards with richly designed environments – ancient cities, tropical islands with pirates, floating castles, and much more – and there are also three minimalist designs available. In addition to the standard campaign, the game offers Chess960, Fog of War, Bughouse, King of the Hill, and 3-Check variants, while multiplayer with leaderboards will enable virtual competition among numerous chess players worldwide.
The release is scheduled for September 2025. For all players who find this approach to chess interesting, we have good news, Ultima Chess can be tried in a demo version.
