IRON GUARD: Salvation VR Tower Defense Game Launches in August 2025
Xlab Digital has unveiled IRON GUARD: Salvation, the highly anticipated VR sequel to its popular tower-defense hit, offering a deeper, more cinematic strategy experience built from the ground up for virtual reality. Pre-orders open today on Meta Horizon Store and Steam, with release expected in August 2025 for Meta Quest, and shortly after on PC VR headsets including Steam and Pico.
This full VR remake delivers an immersive battlefield experience where players can build and upgrade turrets, manage harvesters and factories, and engage enemies using a handheld drone or direct hero control. Whether you're fine-tuning resource lines or stepping into the fray, every action is within your grasp in room-scale VR.
Xlab Digital CEO Zubin Wadia emphasizes this sequel "isn't just a sequel" but an elevated, strategy-rich experience designed to harness VR's full potential. Expect cinematic campaigns across vibrant, war-torn environments-from human colonies to alien worlds-culminating in dramatic confrontations on the enigmatic planet Akris.
IRON GUARD: Salvation introduces refined mechanics such as Auto-Drone mode, hero units with unique powers, and over 25 different turrets to customize your defense tactics. The game features a balanced resource management system including harvesters that feed your factories-ensuring no two encounters play out the same.
Multiple difficulty levels cater to both newcomers and seasoned strategists, while leaderboards and achievements reward tactical prowess and creativity, keeping engagement high long after launch.
Pre-orders are now live with a 17% discount-reduced to $14.99 from the full $17.99 price-on the Meta Horizon Store and Steam. Early adopters gain priority access when the game launches this August on Meta Quest, with PC VR versions following closely behind.
