The multiplayer experience will allow up to 15 players to gather in a social hub, with multiplayer matches for up to four friends and a solo mode against bots. The goal?

Players will also be able to customise their avatar and enjoy the many activities available in the social hub.
Among the game’s main features stand out:
- Live your favourite card game like never before: Socialise with friends or face new enemies in this hilarious VR experience based on the famous card game.
- Use a series of strategic tools: Look ahead, steal items from other players, neutralise their moves and detonate an Exploding Kitten at the right moment to secure victory.
- Three unique game modes: Challenge others in classic or blitz mode, or face your most fearsome rival in duel mode.
- Immersive social hub: Discover activities, mini-games, and character customisation options within the social hub.
The original card game Exploding Kittens, released in 2015, was a resounding success, becoming the most-funded Kickstarter campaign of all time. Since then, it has given rise to numerous adaptations, including versions for consoles, mobile devices and even an animated series on Netflix.
