Neolithic Dawn Begins Meta Quest Early Access
Step into 10,000 BC North America today!
London, UK, 27th June 2025 - After four years in development, Neolithic Dawn, the survival adventure built for VR is now available for Meta Quest headsets! Available in Early Access on the Horizon Store today, Neolithic Dawn welcomes all VR hunters to test their skills in 10,000 BC.
Set across five open-world maps in North America, players will be whisked back to a time when they can discover prehistoric creatures and ancient Ice Age civilisations. Neolithic Dawn is a true survival game where factors including hunger, thirst and warmth all have to be accounted for. To maintain that sense of realism throughout, players will have to handcraft weapons and tools, hunt animals, and prepare for the ever-changing seasons.
All of this is the backdrop to a rich single-player narrative. As a hunter/gatherer following in the footsteps of their ancestors, players must travel through these lands, discovering their fate as the next Star Seeker who must seek to secure their tribes' future. This is not the story of one individual but many generations sewn through time.
"As we open Neolithic Dawn to Early Access, we're proud to share this evolving world with you," said James Bellian, CEO & Founder of Neolithic. "This is just the beginning of a journey we'll continue to shape together, with your feedback guiding us every step of the way."
