Indie developement studio Anshar Studios has announced that the virtual reality space exploration game Detached will be getting a multiplayer update later this year.

In Detached players are trapped in an abandoned space station. They must race against borrowed time to find their crew before their oxygen supply runs out.

As they solve puzzles to open airlocks, locate power cores and disable transmitters, players will realize they won't be alone when they finally escape into the universe's deep infinity.

When the new multiplayer update launches, players will be able to experience one new multiplayer game mode Race that will test their determination and ability to control an advanced EVA suit.

The multiplayer component of the game will feature community ranking leaderboards and a lobby system to easily join up with friends. Aside from the new Race game mode several other game modes are expected to be announced at a later date.

Detached launched on May 18, 2017, exclusively for PC. The game supports HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and OSVR virtual reality headsets.
