The virtual reality sensation, Beat Saber, has just amped up the excitement with its latest addition—a colossal Metallica music pack. Bringing some of Metallica’s iconic tracks to this beloved rhythm game, it’s a treat for both music lovers and gamers.
This new Metallica Music Pack is quite a powerhouse, offering a setup of 17 songs for $20, or individually at $2 each. Compared to previous packs that capped at around $15 for about twelve tracks, this release is indeed on the pricier side. Yet, when you consider classics like “Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters,” and “Master of Puppets” included, it feels like a worthy investment for fans. Together, these tracks deliver an impressive total playtime of one hour and 41 minutes.
Curious about what’s included? Here’s the full lineup of songs:
– Atlas, Rise!
– Battery
– Blackened
– Creeping Death
– Enter Sandman
– Fade to Black
– For Whom the Bell Tolls
– Fuel
– Hit the Lights
– King Nothing
– Lux Æterna
– Master of Puppets
– Nothing Else Matters
– One
– Sad But True
– Seek & Destroy
– The Unforgiven
Each track comes with an exclusive environment that channels the spirit of Metallica’s electrifying live performances. Expect to see bent metal pillars, support scaffolds, along with dynamic lasers, fire, and lighting effects that make every beat more intense.
Moreover, Meta’s Beat Games describes this pack as offering some of the “most challenging levels” in the game. Not just a visual overhaul, it includes Arc and Chain notes and supports multiplayer gameplay. Plus, it introduces a fresh feature: ‘Variable Note Jump Speed’. This mechanic adjusts the speed of the blocks based on the song’s intensity, adding an extra layer of challenge.
Looking ahead, Beat Games announced that both the Variable Note Jump Speed and the new block color customization will become standard features in future Beat Saber levels, hinting at even more engaging gameplay to come.
For those who haven’t yet dived into the world of Beat Saber, there’s a special bundle offering; you can get the base game plus the Metallica Music Pack for just $40, available until January 31st, 2025. After that, it goes back to its regular price of $45. This bundle can be found across Quest, PSVR 2, and SteamVR headsets, making it easily accessible for VR enthusiasts.
