Popular Quest Multiplayer Game ‘Animal Company’ Launches PvP Shooter Update

Oh boy, so here’s the thing. I stumbled into this game, Animal Company, and it’s like—get this—a zoo meets, I dunno, laser tag? Kinda. This new ‘Arena Mode’ they cooked up, it’s pure mayhem now. They threw in a shooting thing… finally! I mean, it’s free-to-play, so why not push the limits, right?

Before this, you had the ‘Adventure Mode,’ totally inspired by that Lethal Company gig from ’23, but that’s more like hide-and-seek with stuff. Anyway, now you jump into Arena Mode, and it’s this full-on 6v6 showdown. Think Minecraft’s ‘Bed Wars’ but with more chaos. Each side gets a base, and in the middle? A battlefield with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in. Pistols, shotguns, pickaxes—like a weird buffet of destruction. Oh, and don’t worry about running out of ammo. It’s endless. So just spray and pray. Or, well, try to aim.

Then there’s this continuous wave of new updates. Tech Trees and Mining bits, the whole Planetarium thing—doesn’t make me an astronaut, but it’s fun. Oh, and speaking of maps, they slipped in a fresh one for Adventure Mode called The Office. But it’s not like Office, office. Also, a Parkour Tower because why not? Challenge my vertigo, thanks a lot.

Here’s the kicker: Animal Company isn’t just twiddling its thumbs. Since last July, it’s climbed the charts on Quest, straight-up kicking Gorilla Tag off its perch. Meta said so—number one earner! That’s no joke.

Want to give it a spin? It’s up for grabs on the Horizon Store for Quest 2 and newer gadgets. Freebie alert! Though heads up, there are microtransactions here—cosmetics and those nifty in-game currency bundles. So, think before splurging.

And that’s all I’ve got. Time to hop back into the mayhem… or maybe I’ll just watch the chaos from the sidelines. Who knows.
