Coming to Oculus Touch in 2019
The shroud of mystery surrounding last week’s Insomniac tease has been lifted. Just now, Insomniac Games has announced a brand new game called Stormland for Oculus Touch.
The reveal comes via this three-minute announcement trailer. It does its job in introducing us to this lush-♕yet-mechanical world. Robots seem to be the only inhabitants despite there being plenty🦹 of vegetation.
As for style, the trailer kind of puts equal emphasis on movement and shooting sections. Insomniac calls it as an action-adventure game with the structure of first-person open-world exploration — all in VR.
Because the trailer leaves us mostly to our own inferences, here’s how Insomniac describes Stormland in a press release: “You’re an android gardener on a lush alien planet, but The Tempest shattered your android body. Now you must journey through an ever-changing cloudscape to augment yourself and save your friends. Explore an expansive world with complete freedom — bound up cliffs, glide across chasms, and fly through the slipstream with velocity. Detonate explosives, harness electricity, and wield makeshift weapons to overcome titanium sentries and monolithic guardians. Play single-player, or explore forgotten ruins together.”
Stormland is currently set for a 2019 release on Oculus Touch. But there’s a pretty big video game convention next week, and I bet we’ll learn more about Stormland then.
