If you pre-order the Oculus Rift headset, it will come with a copy of EVE: Valkyrie.

EVE: Valkyrie is a twin-stick shooter that has the player getting in dogfights in space. It’s also coming out for the PlayStation 4 (with PlayStation VR), and PC. It’s based on the world of EVE: Online, a vast and neverending MMO.

The Oculus Rift will be coming out in early 2016. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey said that Valkyrie, “perfectly captures the promise of immersive gaming.” While EVE is definitely niche as far as MMOs go, EVE: Valkyrie falls more on the accessible side. Engadget wrote an in-depth piece about how it plays on the Oculus Rift here.

At this month’s Game Awards, it was announced that Rock Band 4 would also be an Oculus Rift title. Minecraft also joins the line-up for the VR headset.
