Oculus haven’t given too much away but they did confirm we can expect news from the likes of Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, Pistol Whip and Lone Echo II.
ILMxLAB, Cloudhead Games and Ready At Dawn are among some of the developers who are confirmed as taking part in the first Oculus Gaming Showcase.
Oculus is following other major companies such as Sony and Microsoft by hosting its own event. In the absence of major trade shows due to Covid restrictions this last year, games publishers have been opting to run their own showcases privately.
The event will be hosted by Oculus’ EP Ruth Bram, who confirmed the news via twitter today.
