Mighty Eyes Cancels Wanderer 2, Ends 2025 Game Updates as VR Market Turns Volatile

Summary

  • Mighty Eyes said it has stopped development of Wanderer 2: The Seas of Fortune and will end future updates for Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate.
  • The studio blamed a volatile VR market, saying the game sold solidly on console but missed the mobile uptake it had counted on, leaving its plans financially unworkable.
  • Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate was a 2025 overhaul of the original 2022 title with new gameplay, visuals and PSVR 2 support; the pirate-themed sequel had been announced in 2024.
  • Mighty Eyes said Sony's backing was crucial, with additional support from Meta and Pico, but the cancellation adds to a string of VR game projects recently scrapped across the industry.
