Top-Rated VR Gun Game Getting Extraction Shooter Sequel Ten Years Later
The long-running VR shooter Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades (H3VR) is getting a sequel after a decade of development and updates. Developer RUST recently announced Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades 2, marking a significant milestone for the beloved VR title.
H3VR has remained in active development since its release more than ten years ago, with RUST committed to pushing the original game toward a 1.0 release. The series is known for its realistic weapon modeling and quirky premise featuring combat against anthropomorphic sausages in a sandbox environment.
The sequel builds on the original’s foundation while incorporating modern gaming trends, specifically embracing the extraction shooter genre that has surged in popularity in recent years. This represents a significant departure for the franchise, which has traditionally focused on sandbox-style gameplay. The decision to add extraction mechanics suggests RUST is looking to expand H3VR’s appeal beyond its dedicated VR audience while maintaining the series’ signature humor and detailed weapon systems.
This announcement comes as VR gaming continues to grow as a platform, with titles like H3VR proving that the medium can sustain long-term player communities and continued development. The sequel’s inclusion of extraction shooter elements indicates the studio’s intent to stay relevant within competitive gaming trends while preserving what made the original successful.
