The time travel platform TimeLab will be expanded with its first paid DLC on April 1st.
The VR experience "LZ 129 Hindenburg" takes you inside the legendary zeppelin during its Atlantic crossing.

You will also witness the Hindenburg burst into flames as it crashed at Lakehurst in May 1937 in a tragic accident.
In addition to the immersive time travel experience, the DLC offers detailed background information on the history of the airship and a mini-game in which you steer the Hindenburg through the urban canyons of New York.

Alex and the Jets (April 8 for Meta Quest)
In Alex the Jets, you take on the role of Alex the squirrel and fly his plane through action-packed mixed reality aerial combat in the middle of your living room. Enemies appear directly in your environment, and you must dodge, shoot, and act strategically to survive.
Use donuts to earn valuable power-ups such as shields, poison and missiles to improve your chances in battle. In addition to the intense dogfighting, side quests await you with bouncing pumpkins, floating cheese and other surprises.

Beatable (April 10 for Meta Quest)
The hand-tracking rhythm game Beatable turns your table or any other suitable surface into a musical instrument. Set aside the controllers and tap, flick, and clap to the beat with just your hands.
You can pre-order Beatable in the Horizon Store.
Civilization VII VR (April 10 for Meta Quest 3/3S)
The game begins in a virtual museum with the so-called "War Table" - the central board on which players build their empire. This table can be customized and viewed from different perspectives. Players can get a bird's eye view of the map or zoom in to examine the details of their civilization.
A special feature is the interaction with other civilizations. When players encounter AI-controlled or human opponents, their leaders appear at the table. Diplomatic negotiations take place in a separate "diplomacy room".
The game can be switched between virtual reality and mixed reality at any time. In mixed reality mode, the war table is integrated into the real environment and can be placed anywhere in the room.
Civilization 7 VR is available to pre-order in the Horizon Store.
Crystal Commanders (April 10 for Meta Quest)
Crystal Commanders turns your home into an RTS battlefield.
The game features a 15-mission, fully voiced story campaign in which players defend their home against the Crimson Blade as part of the Crystal Vanguard. Each mission adapts dynamically to the respective room, meaning that no two playthroughs are the same.
In addition to the campaign, Crystal Commanders also offers a 1v1 multiplayer mode that can be played both locally in mixed reality and online in VR. Three different RTS modes are available, including a modern interpretation of the classic “Kill the King” mode.
In Creative Mode, players can try out new base configurations and strategies without the pressure of battle. With almost unlimited resources, you can design and build fortresses tailored to the environment.
Crystal Commanders can be purchased in the Horizon Store.
Titanic VR (April 14 for Meta Quest 3/3S)
Titanic VR was originally released in 2018 for PC VR headsets and the first Playstation VR. Many years later, a version for Meta Quest 3 and 3S is coming.
The VR experience consists of two parts: a virtual dive in which you can freely explore the wreck, and a historical experience in which you relive the disaster from the perspective of a survivor in Lifeboat 6.
In the more extensive first part, you take on the role of Dr. Ethan Lynch, a marine archaeologist who travels by submarine to the wreck of the Titanic to investigate unresolved questions. The game allows for detailed exploration of the wreck, recovery of objects and special missions.
You can add Titanic VR to your wishlist in the Horizon Store. The following trailer shows the PC VR version.
Eggy (April 17 for Meta Quest 3/3S)
Eggy is an MR pet simulation game in which you raise a little dragon and prepare it for life in the wild.
In Eggy, a dragon-like companion hatches from a mysterious glowing egg that you must raise from a fragile hatchling to a survivable creature. Your home becomes a bridge between two worlds: our reality and the Dragon Realm. An ancient book of wisdom reveals tips on caring for the creature and grants access to elemental teas and magical spells.
Every decision made in raising the dragon - from feeding it to training it to emotionally bonding with it - should affect its abilities and chances of survival in the Dragon Realm. The creature will respond to your interactions: It will purr, sing, or make sad sounds. Players can connect with the creature by singing, petting, or dancing.
You can pre-order Eggy in the Horizon Store.
Elements Divided (April 23 for Meta Quest & PC VR)
The multiplayer VR game lets you take control of water, earth, fire, and air as an elementalist.

Her world is turned upside down when her brother disappears and a mysterious new lead promises clues to his whereabouts. Edith's journey begins with a visit to a remote Scottish island in the hope that a gifted psychic can provide some much-needed answers.
Using a combination of logic, mystical knowledge, and ancient magic, you must help Edith find her brother. The studio promises tactile puzzles, spells, and necromancy.
