Gunjack takes place in a gorgeous panoramic sci-fi setting filled with fast-paced, immersive action. Players take on the role of a gunjack, a hired mercenary who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gunjack was released in the second half of 2015 with the launch of the Samsung Gear VR.
