Sony Launching 'Groundhog Day' VR Game

Sony Pictures Virtual Reality is launching “Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son,” a VR game for PlayStation VR, Vive and Oculus Rift.

The game is a sequel to the Bill Murray movie “Groundhog Day” and was created in conjunction with MWM Immersive and is scheduled to be released later this year at PS Store.

Like the original movie, the main character Phil Connors Jr. is trapped back home in the small town of Punxsutawney having to repeat the same day over and over until he learns the value of friends and family.

The VR game includes a time loop with different branching narratives.

A teaser video provides a glimpse of the hours of branching gameplay with story challenges to break the time-loop cycle.
