From VR Studio:
Ever wanted to unleash chaos in a fantasy tavern where fists fly, stools break, and magic booze triggers all-out brawls? Buckle up, adventurers—VR Studio LDLC just dropped the gauntlet with TaVRn’s Takedown, a completely bonkers and brutally fun VR beat ‘em up that plunges you into the riotous, booze-soaked world of Naheulbeuk. Launching in 2026 on SteamVR and Meta Quest, this is fantasy combat like you've never seen before. And now, fans can get their first glimpse of the madness with today’s reveal of the game’s official teaser trailer.
The team at VR Studio LDLC—a specialized VR branch of French tech giant LDLC—has partnered with Artefacts Studio, Blanktone Studio, and Clair de Lune to bring this brawler to life, working hand-in-hand with Naheulbeuk creator John Lang himself.
TaVRn’s Takedown is the first-ever VR game set in the cult universe of Naheulbeuk—a legendary French fantasy satire that has captivated millions across comics, novels, video games, and even music. The teaser trailer offers a riotous look at barstool-fueled chaos, over-the-top animations, and fist-swinging fun that fans can expect when the game hits SteamVR and Meta Quest in 2026.
Set 200 years before the events of The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, this VR prequel transports players to the town of Mliuej, where taverns are cursed, customers are belligerent, and only your fists—and maybe a few flying stools—can bring order. With immersive, cartoon-style visuals and chaotic physics-based gameplay, TaVRn’s Takedown brings a new level of madness to virtual reality.
Originally launched in 2001 as a fantasy parody audio series, Naheulbeuk has grown into a full-blown pop culture phenomenon in France and across Europe. Known for its unique blend of absurdist humor, D&D-style fantasy, and cult appeal, it’s been compared to Discworld, Rick & Morty, and Monty Python. With TaVRn’s Takedown, it finally enters the world of VR.
