1. Stormland by Insomniac Games
Stormland is one of a couple games you might've POSSIBLY heard of before. This game is a co-op in the action adventure genre, and it'll be coming in the year 2019. You're an android and you've got to "journey through an ever-changing cloudscape to augment yourself and save your friends." This could be epic.
Above you'll see some new screenshots. Below you'll see a gameplay video from PAX 2018 from UploadVR.
2. Lone Echo II by Ready At Dawn
If you're looking for a multi-game dedication by a team of developers that are in this universe for the long haul, look no further. Lone Echo II is part of the same "Echo VR franchise" as Echo Arena, Lone Echo (the first of two games, and Echo Combat (seen below, #3 on this list). Lone Echo II will be launched inside the year 2019 – it's living in the Adventure genre.
Above you'll see a few shots from the game. Below is the announce trailer for this game.
3. Echo Combat by Ready At Dawn
Echo Combat is part of the Echo VR franchise as well. This game is part of the Team Competitive Zero-g FPS genre. It's basically the Battle Room from Ender's Game – but you're in it hardcore-style. This game will be launching on November 15th, 2018. There'll be a free open beta (9/26-29) and a $10 launch.
4. Defector by Twisted Pixel
Twisted Pixel has had this Defector game in development since the dawn of time – and they've got the massive amounts of content to show for it. Defector's supposed to be launching at some point inside the year 2019. Those that've seen this game before will find today's content to be entirely new – part of "a new level set in India."
