Virtual Freebie - Oculus Rift Pre-Orders Come With EVE: Valkyrie

And for the whole endeavor to work, those games have to be built for VR from the ground up; created to exploit the new potential of your fancy-pants goggles. EVE Valkyrie is Oculus Rift's first "exclusive" launch title Each time we had the opportunity to test it, it reminded us of what's possible at the very top of the virtual reality development totem pole.

That game is none other than the space dog-fighting simulator EVE Valkyrie, a spin-off of the popular EVE: Online MMO. Let's be honest: nearly certainly.

All Rift pre-orders will be bundled with CCP's space combat game. CCP has not announced EVE: Valkyrie for HTC's Vive platform. It's not now known when pre-orders for the VR headset will go live or how much gamers will have to put down to reserve one, but we'll keep you updated.

EVE: Valkyrie is being developed using Unreal Engine 4, and will be released on PC for Oculus Rift and PS4 through PlayStation VR.

One of the most interesting parts of Valkyrie is that it is an entire game, and it will also be available to non VR folks.

"Battling your friends (and enemies) in multiplayer space dogfights is the ultimate VR thrill, and we're excited to partner with CCP to bring this experience to Rift owners everywhere".
