Asgard's Wrath

Edition at a glance: Asgard's Wrath is a PCVR action-adventure RPG for Meta's Rift platform—not a native standalone-headset edition identified by the official listing. Meta lists Rift and Rift S as its supported platforms. ^[1] Last checked October 11, 2026.

What the game is

Sanzaru Games describes Asgard's Wrath as a Norse adventure that can only unfold in VR, with the player moving between a mortal hero and a living god. Its official game page calls it an action role-playing game and highlights combat, mortal-hero classes, large-scale puzzles, and animal companions that can be led into battle. ^[2]

The official Meta announcement gives the setup more context: the player is a “Fledgling God” in Asgard, and Loki sends them through separate sagas in which they help heroes fulfill their destinies. Meta characterizes the game as a Norse-inspired action adventure with substantial RPG elements. ^[3]

Why VR matters here

The signature idea is scale. Meta says players can swap between human and god modes, using the change in viewpoint to explore, solve puzzles, and overcome challenges. The same announcement describes returning to earlier areas after unlocking abilities and using god form to capture and convert certain wildlife into animal warrior companions for a mortal hero. ^[3]

Combat is designed around deliberate physical interaction rather than unrestricted swinging: the announcement describes melee rules that reward skill, plus shield catches, thrown weapons, time dilation, dismemberment, ragdolls, and hero-specific gear and mechanics. These are developer/publisher descriptions of the design, not a promise about performance on every PC. ^[3]

VR edition and platform clarity

PCVR / Rift: the first-party Meta listing labels the app under PCVR and names Rift S and Rift as supported platforms. In practical terms, this is the computer-based Rift edition; it is not presented by that listing as standalone Quest software. ^[1]
No console-VR edition verified: the official sources checked here identify the Rift platform, but do not identify a PlayStation VR or other console edition. I have therefore not listed one.
No broad headset claim: do not read this page as a claim that every current headset is supported. The official listing names Rift S and Rift only. ^[1]

Official PC details

Meta's listing identifies Sanzaru as developer, Oculus as publisher, a single-user game mode, and October 9, 2019 as the release date shown in the listing. It also gives these recommended PC details: Intel i7-7700 processor, NVIDIA GTX 1080 graphics card, 14.9 GB memory, and 132.97 GB of space. Treat these as the listing's recommended values, not minimum requirements; the checked official listing does not provide a minimum-spec table. ^[1]
