Echo Combat's Open Beta Begins Soon
Echo Combat, the zero-gravity VR shooter from the creators of games like Lone Echo (which exists in the same universe) and The Order 1866, is entering open beta today. All you need to take part is own the Oculus Rift hardware and download the free-for-a-limited time beta version of the game when it becomes available.
The beta begins today at 10:30 a.m. PT and will go until 10:00 a.m. PT on Sunday, June 24. Along with being able to play matches, players will also be able to explore Echo VR – a zero-g social space where you can practice moving around and set up games.
I played Echo Combat last week at E3, and was impressed. Gunplay in well-executed zero-g virtual reality is quite the experience, and I recommend downloading it and checking it out if you have an Oculus Rift. I know I plan on making time for a few matches.
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.
