Ubisoft Announces Release Dates for VR Games
London, UK — August 18, in the year of our Lord 2016
— Today, at Gamescom, Ubisoft® announced the release dates for
virtual reality titles Eagle Flight, and Star Trek™: Bridge
Crew. These titles will be coming to PlayStation®VR, Oculus Rift
and HTC Vive starting from this October.
Eagle Flight, developed by FunHouse, a division of Ubisoft
Montreal, sends players to the skies of Paris where, as an
eagle, they will soar over the historic city and its iconic
landmarks. Playable in single player and in the heart-pumping
multiplayer “Capture the Prey” mode, players will feel the true
sensation and exhilaration of flight. Eagle Flight will be
released on Oculus Rift beginning October 18th, PlayStation®VR
beginning November 8th and HTC Vive beginning December 20th.
Ascend to the stars, where no one has gone before in virtual
reality, with Star Trek™: Bridge Crew. Developed by Red Storm
Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio, players will be beamed right
into the action as a member of the Federation serving aboard a
Starfleet ship, exploring space with a crew or solo as the
Captain. Star Trek ™: Bridge Crew was designed exclusively for
VR, capitalising on the powerful sense of social presence
possible through virtual reality. It will be available on all
three platforms beginning November 29th.
Eagle Flight and Star Trek Bridge Crew will be available on
PlayStation®VR as retail versions a week after their digital
releases. Virtual reality will also be introduced into the
arcade-racing universe of TrackMania Turbo. Thanks to a free
patch, players will be able to enjoy the game on PlayStation®VR
beginning November 8th.
With its lineup of VR titles set for release this autumn,
Ubisoft believes in the strong potential of virtual reality to
redefine social gaming with a unique sense of reality. Star
Trek™: Bridge Crew, and Eagle Flight, and Ubisoft’s recent
partnership with VR film company, SpectreVision, are its latest
ventures in the emerging technology.
