The Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive and PlayStation VR are heading a new wave of hardware that has the opportunity to influence gaming in meaningful and significant ways. EVE: Valkyrie has the privilege of being that game for the Oculus Rift.There's really so much more to this deal than just, " EVE: Valkyrie is bundled with the Oculus Rift," though. Wii Sports single-handedly ushered in an era of motion controls and made the Wii the most successful platform of its generation. If Halo: Combat Evolved had not been an Xbox launch title, the Xbox One may never have existed. Whenever the Oculus Rift finally launches, pre-orderers will find a copy of EVE: Valkyrie bundled in the box and ready to play on day one.Software launching alongside a major hardware release can, has and will again determine the success of said hardware. Today Oculus announced a partnership with CCP Games, developers of EVE Online, to bundle a copy of the VR-enabled space shooter EVE: Valkyrie with all pre-orders of the Oculus Rift.
Details regarding whether the game will be made available prior to the Oculus Rift launch are not yet revealed, either.Perhaps more than anything, EVE: Valkyrie is a high-profile, large franchise game from a huge studio - the likes of which are scant on the list of upcoming VR titles. While EVE: Valkyrie is now revealed to be a bundle-in for Oculus Rift pre-orders, it's also planned to support PlayStation VR as well as be available as a non-VR PC and PlayStation 4 title. Players will put on their VR headset and take control of a spaceship with which they'll dogfight to their hearts content. Will it be, though?EVE: Valkyrie, for those unfamiliar, is a multiplayer space shooter set in the EVE Online universe.
Perhaps a launch delay into later 2016 is a realistic possibility. With the HTC Vive now targeting a launch in April of 2016, many are speculating that Oculus will try and beat their competition to market, but now that their launch is hinging on the availability of EVE: Valkyrie and with so much work left to do.
