Asgard's Wrath 2 is an action role-playing game developed by Sanzaru Games and published by Oculus Studios. The game is a sequel to Asgard's Wrath (2019) and is designed exclusively for Meta Quest’s standalone VR headsets. Asgard’s Wrath 2 is a continuation of the story, gameplay, and mechanics established by its predecessor.
Development began shortly after the release of the original Asgard's Wrath in late 2019. Following Sanzaru Games' acquisition by Meta in 2020, the project pivoted to support standalone devices such as the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 3. The game was officially announced during the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase on June 1, 2023, with a significant focus on integrating new hardware features and delivering an immersive narrative-driven experience.
Set against the backdrop of Norse and Egyptian mythology, the game introduces an open-world structure, allowing players to explore mythological realms, solve puzzles, and engage in combat with enemies and bosses.

Asgard's Wrath 2 offers an action RPG experience tailored to VR. Players assume the role of a Norse god, possessing mortals to interact with the world, engage in combat, and progress through the story. Each character players possess, features a unique skill tree and narrative arc.
Gameplay revolves around exploration, combat, and puzzles. Players can navigate open-world environments such as The Great Sand Sea or The Inbetween, interacting with NPCs, solving environmental challenges, and uncovering hidden lore.
