Joy Way, the studio behind the popular parkour action-shooter game STRIDE (2022), has exciting news for fans. They have announced that a high-flying follow-up titled STRIDE: Fates is set to release on Quest next month. The studio refers to it as a “full-fledged sequel” to the original Stride.

Immerse Yourself in an Action-Packed Narrative

STRIDE: Fates takes players on an exhilarating journey as they step into the shoes of a parkour spec-ops officer. Set in the dystopian surroundings of Airon City, players will traverse and shoot their way through rooftops and basements, from the slums to affluent skyscrapers. Along the way, they will encounter power shifts in gangs, dirty family feuds, corporate secrets, forbidden tech, and other obstacles that unveil the mysteries of their past.

The full-fledged sequel builds upon the beloved elements of STRIDE, enhancing the parkour action formula with new gameplay mechanics and incorporating a captivating story-driven campaign.

Exciting Features to Look Forward To

Originally intended to be a short story mode offered as free DLC for the base game, STRIDE: Fates has evolved into a separate full-fledged game.
