Evaluation
Shadow Legend VR launched on March 7, 2019 as a complete single-player VR RPG. In the months following launch, VitruviusVR actively patched and refined the game, overhauling the final boss fight (May 2019) and adding Index Knuckles controller support (June 2019). In December 2019, the developer quietly shipped two new levels — Sky Keep Prison and Floating Citadel — which were later acknowledged in an April 2020 post. That April 2020 post appears to be the last developer communication specifically about Shadow Legend VR's content.
After that, VitruviusVR's focus clearly shifted to their next project. In November 2023, the studio announced Arken Age, a new sci-fi VR game, noting they had been working on it for three years (since approximately 2020). The announcement makes no mention of any further plans for Shadow Legend VR, and there have been no Shadow Legend-specific updates since April 2020.
The pattern is clear: the game received a final batch of content in December 2019, was acknowledged in April 2020, and the studio has since moved on to a new title. The game launched as a complete product and received some post-launch refinements before development concluded.

The Story
The story of this world began thousands of years ago, when only two beings existed, Lord Adaroth and Lady Evelyn, the immortal Gods of Anaria. In the beginning they were alone living in a shadowed world of all that had been created; a desolate realm of peace and possibility.
However, Evelyn did not like the loneliness of the world, being frozen in time, and longed for more... Whereas Adaroth reveled in the peace that nothingness and darkness provided.
In these dark days Evelyn brought light to the world, and with it came life. She created great masterpieces of plants, animals and people, embodying what the realm of Anaria is today. She worked tirelessly and the more she made, the more fulfilled she became. On the contrary, Lord Adaroth was miserable, finding the chaos of the uncontrolled creation process too much to bear and strived to bring darkness and stillness back to the world.
For thousands of years the two gods clashed with one another, one wanting to create and one wanting to destroy. Both being immortal and unable to stop the other, the battle waged on until this very day. In this story you play as the Grand Master of most powerful military holy order in the realm and Evelyn has tasked you with the quest to end their war once and for all.
