Ubisoft and OWO may not want to make you bleed, but the duo is certainly hoping you feel the same punches and stabbings that you make the next protagonist endure. That's because the companies have announced the launch of a limited, Mirage edition of OWO's haptic feedback shirt, a piece of wearable technology that constricts sections of your torso to transmit the feeling of impacts, cuts, and compression forces. The byline? You'd better ensure you're a good caretaker for your in-game character, Basim, or you'll feel exactly how good (or bad) of a player you are.
The haptic feedback Mirage shirt will be part of a limited 100-unit run and builds on OWO's own premium haptic offering, the Founder Limited Edition. That product ships with ten haptic sensation locations (the places where the suit can compress and decompress to simulate contact), 100-ohm high-conductivity electrodes, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, and an eight-hour rechargeable USB Type-C battery. Depending on the settings, we can't imagine anyone wanting to be inside a walking machine of pain for the duration of its battery, so maybe OWO could have shaved some weight or pulled some additional constricting power from the suit's battery.
