The early access war game available to play on the HTC Vive and currently available on Steam, has sparked controversy for bringing graphic violence to VR.

The video, titled “My first knife’y”, was uploaded to YouTube by a user known as The Lonely Viper and shared on social media forum Reddit.

The traumatic footage shows a soldier exploring a desert location before entering a house and knifing an opponent to death.

During the video the gamer can be heard shouting “die” and “I knifed you” repeatedly as he attacks the other player.

One user on Reddit comments: “Man, this is exactly like that knife scene from Saving Private Ryan.”

While another viewer said: “That went from hilarious to scary as you were really into it then cried then got back into it. God help if you ever got hold of a kitchen knife.”

The news comes as PlayStation reveals big plans for its own move into VR gaming.

Sony have announced they will be releasing free samples of eight games with the new PlayStation VR headset next month (October 13), amid ambitious plans to expand their virtual reality projects.
