Defector

Defector is an upcoming new spy action VR game from Twisted Pixels (creators of Wilsons Heart) and Oculus Studios that’s ready to bring some new unique content to the platform. Being an exclusive title, the two teams have put a lot of work into this title to make it fresh and exciting for the Rift users.

Defector is set to release some time in 2018 and we are looking forward to playing this unique game in VR created by Twisted Pixel and Oculus Studios.

Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot VR

Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot drops you into the role of a resistance hacker on a mission to tear apart the Nazi forces in Paris using their own machines. Take control of a fire-breathing Panzerhund and more as you fight Nazis in the City of Love in order to aid the French resistance.

Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot will be available as a standalone VR game sometime in 2019. They haven’t specified which platforms the game will be coming to. In the past, they’ve released their games on PlayStation VR, Oculus, and the HTC Vive.

Stormland

In Stormland, you’re an android gardener on a lush alien planet, but The Tempest shattered your android body. Now you must journey through an ever-changing cloudscape to augment yourself and save your friends. Explore an expansive world with complete freedom—bound up cliffs, glide across chasms, and fly through the slipstream with velocity.

Detonate explosives, harness electricity, and wield makeshift weapons to overcome titanium sentries and monolithic guardians. You will be able to play Stormland in single-player mode or explore the forgotten ruins together with friends.

Stormland is a work in progress title where we’ll be learning about the release date later down the road. This will be an exclusive title on the Oculus Rift developed by Insomniac Games.

Marvel Powers United

Marvel Powers United will be the first VR game put out by Marvel Entertainment that focuses on their superheroes with their amazing powers. The game was first announced this year at D23 and is scheduled to make its release some time in 2018. Marvel Powers United will be available on Oculus Rift with no words on it being available on the HTC Vive or PSVR.

Marvel Powers United VR was developed by Sanzaru Games, the team behind VR Sports Challenge and Ripcoil. The heroes that have been announced include: Rocket Raccoon, Deadpool, Captain Marvel, The Hulk, Ronan the Accuser, Crystal, Black Bolt, Thor, and Loki with more to come.

There isn’t a set price yet on the game nor a specific release date. Stay tuned for further updates on Marvel Powers United.

Echo Combat

Ready At Dawn studios, the creators of titles such as God of War, The Order: 1886, Lone Echo and Echo Arena have announced that they’ll be releasing a follow-up game to Echo Arena called Echo Combat.

There isn’t much known about the new title besides it being a follow-up game to Lone Echo and Echo arena. We anticipate that it will  be a competitive VR game set within an arena in space. Echo Combat is set to release some time in 2018 but there isn’t a specific release date beyond that just yet.

Titanfall Creator Respawn

Respawn Entertainment, creators of Titanfall, have announced that they’ll be releasing a brand new AAA VR title in partnership with Oculus. The date has been set for 2019 and we don’t yet know the specifics of the content. All we know is that Respawn is aiming high in this new field and will be challenging other studios in what future gaming looks like.

Fallout 4 VR

Bethesda has recently announced that Fallout 4 will be coming to VR with the release set to launch in October. The creative studio will be making a full adaptation of the game onto the VR platform where users will have the ability to experience the amazing story in all it’s glory. Just a couple of months ago Pete Hines, VP of Marketing at Bethesda, stated, “Fallout4 VR is the most incredible thing you’ve ever seen in your life. You can’t even imagine what it’s like playing in VR and how realistic it looks. And everywhere you turn your head, it’s going to blow your mind.” During E3, we had to pleasure of seeing it up close in-person and it really is something to be seen.

Fallout 4 VR is now available for $59.99 on Steam.

Project Cars 2

Slightly Mad Studios released an amazing simulation for VR called Project Cars 2. This is an original follow-up to their first simulation game called Project Cars which showcases some of the supercars available today. The game boasts some of the best quality graphics we’ve seen to date in VR while providing an accurate portrayal of what driving cars would be like in racing environments. As a matter of fact, a lot of professional drivers use Project Cars 2 to stay focused and train for real races.

In an interview with Tom’s Hardware, Rod Chong from Slightly Mad Studios stated, “We’ve been working hard to make sure that Project Cars 2 is as immersive as possible. There’s a lot of new things we’re doing in Project Cars 2, such as new rendering techniques, which will smooth the VR experience and make sure everything is fully optimized for both Oculus and HTC.

We think that VR is a paradigm shift, because now, you’re in the action. You’re no longer just translating to a flat screen, or even three flat screens. You’re driving a car, and your body thinks it’s driving a car after a while. We’re always thinking of new ways to progress that, and we think hand tracking will be the next step. Right now, if you look at your hands with a headset on, they’ll be glued to the position of your steering wheel, and your hand will only move when the game detects a gear shift. Currently, hand-tracking is too slow. If you were to pull a physical handbrake, the animation would be behind you. We believe that when VR systems catch up, you’ll be able to interact with different parts of the car in real time, and we look forward to seeing that in the future.”

They’ve also announced the full list of cars that’ll be available to drive in Project Cars 2 including the Acura NSX and Ford GT.

Project Cars 2 is now available on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive for $59.99.
