It was once just a demo. Thena full-blown game. Now EVE Valkyrie is the first title to be co-published by Oculus Rift themselves, making it an exclusive, and I couldnāt be happier.
Oculus made the announcement today, saying that the game is now a joint deal between EVE creators CCP and Oculusā own internal team.
A space combat game based in the EVE Online universe, Valkyrie is what I dreamed the future of video games would look like when I was stuck playing X-Wing and Wing Commander on a 486 computer with a bad CRT monitor. The speed, the visuals, but most importantly the immersion. Itās been a long wait ā around twenty years ā but hey, looks like weāre almost there, space combat fans.
Itās weird to see that dream coming true ā at least on paper, I havenāt played it ā but also exciting.
