EVE Valkyrie Enters Alpha For Oculus Rift DK2 Owners This Month
Sure, the Oculus Rift won’t be available until March (or April… or May depending on when you ordered). But if you happen to be in possession of a Developer Kit 2 (DK2), there’s something fun on the horizon.
CCP has announced that its space dogfighting simulator, EVE Valkyrie, enters closed alpha testing this month. Those interested can sign up on the EVE Valkyrie website.
The testing phase begins on January 18, and players will be admitted in waves. For those waiting on a consumer version, all Rift pre-orders include EVE Valkyrie.
You can still place your order on the Oculus website. For more on the price, launch specifics, and additional details, check out our previous coverage.
Our Take
EVE Valkyrie continues to be one of my favorite VR experiences. I’ll be waiting for a consumer Rift, but if you happen to have a DK2, get on this.
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.
