A new trailer for Lone Echo has dropped to get us all ready for the release of Lone Echo and its multiplayer side of Echo Arena
Hopefully you’ve taken advantage of the many great deals going on for the Oculus Rift as it looks like we have another great tittle to add into the mix with Lone Echo getting its exclusive release on the system on July 20th. This would be the latest title from Ready At Dawn that will place us all in the virtual space of…well…space as we take on the role of an astronaut’s companion after some mishap takes place. By companion I’m talking a robot with our intelligence who is able to handle all the harshness that Lone Echo has to offer in way of problem solving to keep our captain alive and us still functioning. All in the fun VR setting and floating around the rings of Saturn. Sounds like a blast.
In addition to Lone Echo, there will also be a multiplayer version of the game, Echo Arena that is also dropping and dropping for free on the Oculus as well. At least free for a short time as it is uses the best parts of the core game to give us all a new and interesting multiplayer game on the device. Not many VR games can make that claim and it looks like Lone Echo wants to be part of that new and exclusive club. I am sure that it will all pan out well given what we see here. That is unless the controls for the game totally take you out of the whole experience and then…well…we’ll see.
