By: Michael J. Lynch The latest update to the popular action-RPG Beat Saber is now available for free, and it includes a new block mechanic that should make the game more challenging and exciting. The new block mechanic is called “Pulse,” and it allows players to create powerful combos by timing their attacks in order to send enemies flying into the air. It’s a great addition that should make Beat Saber even more fun to play, and it’s sure to add some extra challenge to your matches.
Starting with the sound pack, OST5 is coming “soon” according to a teaser trailer released by developer Beat Games. The teaser doesn’t tell us much, but it provides a small taste of the music you’ll get to jam along with while playing the game.

Perhaps more exciting is the new mechanics that were first teased in January. There are lines that you need to trace with your sabers and strings of mini-blocks.
The release of a new pack of songs is the perfect time to add new mechanics, as it would be a lot easier to incorporate a new one into new tracks. Adding it to existing songs would be tough and would require a lot of work on the part of Beat Games.
Additionally, a new lighting system is coming to the game at some point in the near future, which could also be part of OST5.
It’s still early in the promotion cycle for the new song pack, so we’ll have to wait and see if Beat Games announces that the new mechanics are ready, or if they’ll arrive at a later date. Either way, it’s an exciting time for fans of the VR music game.
