Razercon took place this morning where the company announced a bunch of new innovative products including Freyja, a haptics gaming cushion.
Building on the haptics gaming chair that Razer showed off as a prototype earlier this year, Freyja is designed to go over the top of your chair and allows you to feel multi-directional haptics through six advanced haptics motors which are programmed to follow the direction of whatever is happening on screen, so for Hogwarts Legacy, it totally changes based on the direction of the spell for instance.
Developers will be able to release enhanced haptics with games such as Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy 16, Snowrunner and Silent Hill 2 being a few of the already announced games.
I got to go hands-on with Freyja a few weeks ago, and it really adds to the immersion. It takes a little while to get used ot initially, but as you sort’ve forget that you’re sitting on a vibrating vibrating cushion, you really settle in and feel immersed in your game. Stay tuned for the full review.
Razer Freyja releases in Australia today and it’s available to order on Razer’s website for $549.95 AUD.
