Monument Valley dev announces Land's End, a surreal trip for Gear VR

| Land's End

Land's End is the next game from ustwo, creators of the Gold Award-winning Monument Valley, and it will only be coming to Samsung's new Gear VR headset.

The only information that we have of Land's End is the following brief description: "A surreal trip through an archipelago of forgotten worlds."

There's also a dreamy vista in purple and pink that shows an archipelago rising out of the sea, and populated with towers.

It's particularly interesting that the angle of the island, and the way the towers recede into the water, suggests that it's either sinking into or emerging from the ocean.

Perhaps the title Land's End doesn't reference the place in England, but reveals an apocalyptic theme? We don't know at this point.

We're also eager to find out how this will work with the the Gear VR which is, of course, a virtual reality headset.

Ustwo also wanted to reassure fans of Monument Valley that the new levels for the beautiful puzzler haven't been compromised by this new project.

Those levels are still on the way and have not been delayed at all.

Anyway, hopefully there will be more information on Land's End up on its website soon.
