Get ready to squad up in Firewall Ultra on August 24th, 2023, developed for PlayStation®VR2 by First Contact Entertainment. Pre-order now on PlayStation Store. Step into a shadow-filled secret world of high-stakes multiplayer tactical espionage in the next evolution of the Firewall franchise. Form an elite squad of contractors and strategize as a team to attack targets, cover each other’s backs, and complete objectives in Firewall Ultra’s 4v4 PVP mode.

Looks pretty cool, the gameplay looks a little jank though but I'm guessing in action it flows nicer

I wonder if you can shield yourself from the flashbang in that trailer by either lifting your arm to block your view, or just closing your eyes.

This is a day one purchase.

From what was shown at the end of the trailer, that does appear to be the case. Someone in the comments also mentions how the eye tracking in the PSVR2 can tell when your eyes are closed, and that apparently will affect flashbangs. No clue where they are getting that info though

This one is really high up on my list.

PvP should be a blast, but I also hope the PvE stuff will be really good.

Finally, a fucking release date for SIE's first PSVR2 game since its launch.

That video kinda suggests shadows will play a pivotal role in the gameplay. I don't think that was a feature in the first Firewall.

Day one, of course. Looks incredibly immersive.

Why does it have the PS Studio logo tho?

I am down for something a little less heart-attacky than Pavlov. A little slower paced, that is.

Looks like bad graphics at 12 fps

The framerate in the video is really bad, but that's surely an encoding problem or whatever. I'm sure the actual game runs at 60-90 fps, that's the minimum for VR games to not feel like complete shit.

The game is made by an external studio (First Contact Entrainment), but Sony is backing and publishing it.

Yeah I am sure the game will run fine but jeez. Encode your video properly

From the PS Blog:
This includes eye-tracking for innovative use cases like closing your eyes to avoid the effects of a flashbang
