RTS fans rejoice! Xlab Digital is back again, though this time in a big way as they’re making a follow-up to their original RTS title, Iron Guard.

Built from the ground up for VR, Iron Guard Salvation is coming later this Summer, with pre-orders officially going up today on the Meta Quest Store.

An RTS That Puts You Into the Battlefield

Arriving this August on Quest, Pico, and Steam, Iron Guard Salvation is now available for pre-ordering, though only for Meta Quest users. As an appreciation to early buyers, the studio is offering a 17% limited-time discount, bringing the title down from its original $17.99 price point to $14.99!

For those who did play the original and wonder what this sequel is about, here are some key points about the game, as well as a word from the CEO of Xlab Digital.

“With IRON GUARD Salvation, we set out to reimagine everything that made the original great—then push it further,” said Zubin Wadia, CEO and founder of Xlab Digital. “This isn’t just a sequel. It’s a deeper, more cinematic, and more strategic experience built for the full potential of VR. Whether commanding turrets or unleashing hero powers, you’ll feel like you’re right on the battlefield.”
