Trombone Champ: Unflattened - Official Reveal Trailer | VR Games Showcase 2024 - YouTube

Trombone Champ, 2022’s funniest PC gaming phenomenon, is getting a snazzy VR version that aims to fully immerse you in fudging your way through Ode to Joy with the world’s most inherently comical musical instrument.

The original Trombone Champ became an overnight sensation following Chris Livingston’sdelightfully dreadfulrendition of Beethoven’s 5th, selling anestimated265,000 copies on Steam. “If Beethoven wasn’t rolling over in his grave it was only because he’d already burst out of it, staggered around shrieking, and then vomited,” Chris wrote of his own performance in 2022. “In Trombone Champ, playing the trombone badly is just as much fun as playing it well, which is just one reason why I love it.”

But perhaps I’m just being a curmudgeon. The world certainly won’t be lesser for the existence of Unflattened. We’ll find out how well Trombone Champ adapts to three dimensions soon, as the game is due to launch on Quest and Steam this autumn.
