Oculus VR To Co-Publish EVE: Valkyrie
At Gamescom 2013 and, more recently, CES 2014 we had the opportunity to get our hands on CCP Games’ virtual reality dogfighting game, EVE: Valkyrie. We came away impressed, especially since our demo was complete with the HD version of the Oculus Rift headset.
Today, Oculus VR has announced that it will be co-publishing the game with CCP. EVE: Valkyrie started with a small team, but has since grown into a full project for the publisher.
Of note, this represents a step toward consumer release for Oculus. No hint as to when that might be is present in the announcement, though.

Our Take
My time with EVE: Valkyrie at Gamescom was far too short. I suspect that Oculus realizes its power to sell people on the concept of virtual reality displays, and I anticipate we’ll be seeing EVE: Valkyrie frequently put forward as an ideal first experience.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
