The developers of EVE Online, CCP, have made a coup; their shooter EVE Valkyrie will be released alongside the Oculus Rift in 2016. CCP is thus gaining an advantage in the new virtual reality market.
That’s quite a success for the Icelanders. When the virtual reality headset Oculus Rift is released in 2016, every package will come with EVE Valkyrie. This is a space shooter that takes the “world of EVE” and allows players to experience space battles as if they were sitting in the cockpit.
CCP had set its sights on virtual reality early on, and after excursions into other franchises, it has refocused on its EVE universe but aims to establish more games there than just the MMORPG EVE Online.
Oculus Rift is set to debut in the first quarter of 2016 – Valkyrie will “debut” on this platform, and it is also scheduled for Playstation 4 and its virtual reality system, which was previously known as Morpheus.
Initial impressions are spectacular, just like this video.
