EVE: Valkyrie Becomes Oculus Rift Launch Title

An experiment by CCP has grown into something much more.

We don't know when the Oculus Rift will be released, but we do know one of its launch titles will be EVE: Valkyrie from CCP, the developers of EVE Online.

Unfortunately, this news doesn't come with any real clarity on when Oculus Rift devices will be available at retail. But if we're talking launch games, maybe those details aren't so far off?

EVE: Valkyrie started as an experiment called EVE VR, and debuted at EVE Fanfest last year. Drew and I played around with that early version of EVE: Valkyrie, and it was immediately impressive. Even with the early and blurry version of the Oculus Rift, the sensation of whizzing around space at ridiculous speeds and using your face to line up targets was legitimately amazing.

Now, it's more than an experiment. Hopefully we'll know when we can play it soon, too.
