Another Oculus Rift exclusive for 2020
Respawn Entertainment is staying busy. Apart fromApex Legends,Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and everything else the studio has in the pipeline, it’s also working on a brand newMedal of Honor.
Announced this morning at Oculus Connect 6,Medal of Honor: Above and Beyondis a new built-for-VR World War II game coming to Oculus Rift in 2020. Today’s announcement mainly focuses on the campaign–a story about an Allied agent of the OSS–but there’s also talk of “multiplayer modes,” and a “unique story gallery, letting you sit with WWII veterans and survivors to hear their stories.”
This guy right here:
This guy mimed pulling out a grenade pin with his mouth before chucking it with all his might.
That’s my kinda over-the-top goofy shit.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyondhas been in the works for two yearsin collaboration with Oculus Studios, and the game’s director, Peter Hirschmann, was a writer on the originalMedal of Honor. “It’s an incredible feeling for us to be back working with this series again, telling unforgettable stories of the men and women who stood up and fought against evil,” he saidin a blog post.
I like that in the lead-up to this news, Respawn teased its “AAA first-person combat title” for Oculus Rift as “notTitanfall.” Even with that caveat, I’m still surprised. I didn’t expectMedal of Honor.
