As of September 2016, the game was shipped for free with every version of the Rift Consumer Version 1 kit for Oculus Rift.

A version for Sony's PlayStation VR is expected to launch in October 2016, with the date set for October 13. In March 2014, CCP announced they plan to enable cross-platform play between the three major VR systems: the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive, and the PlayStation VR, with the latter two versions unreleased at the time. On ApCCP Games announced that the game will get support for the HTC Vive in 2016. Releases Д®ve: Valkyrie was launched for Microsoft Windows on March 28, 2016, serving as a launch title for Facebook's Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, with the game coming bundled with every pre-order of the device.

The versions were confirmed to be similar, but would not allow cross-platform play for players using different hardware. At the time, CCP also confirmed that game would be a launch title for both Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR, with no firm release dates set for either version. On March 19, 2015, CCP announced that Eve: Valkyrie had been opened for its pre- alpha testing phase, which was invite-only to players. By that time, it had also been announced that beyond Windows PC, the game would also be compatible with Sony's Project Morpheus (now titled PlayStation VR) on the PlayStation 4, with the game to be ready by the start of 2015, but the launch date held off to coincide with the retail version of the Oculus Rift.

The source code for the original demo, according to developers, had been entirely rewritten by a team of 24 to work with the new engine. In May 2014, CCP announced that the game would utilize the Unreal Engine 4, moving on from the Unity engine. While the game console or operating system for the game was initially left unannounced, in February 2014 CCP announced that Eve: Valkyrie was being developed for exclusive use on Microsoft Windows with the then unreleased Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. At the time, the demo was only multiplayer and focused largely on dogfighting. While the game was undergoing early development in October 2013, CCP asserted they were 'thinking about' adding a single-player campaign to EVE: Valkyrie. Eve: Valkyrie was initially a demo put together by several CCP developers as a side project in their free time, with the demo then shown at EVE Fanfest in late April 2013.

Development Дuring development, it was called EVE-VR while still a tech demo. As of September 2016, the game was only available to players with the Oculus Rift headset through PC, and players with the PSVR headset, on PlayStation, although CCP has announced the game will allow cross-platform play with other upcoming systems. The main menu was also revised, with an additional new 'tactical' menu added showing all actives players and their stats during multiplayer matches.

Among other changes with the patch were 'Boost Gates' that increase speed when flown through, a new 'Crossroads multiplayer map', new game modes, and a new bonus feature awarded to each player at the end of matches.

#EVE VALKYRIE ON VIVE UPDATE#

The new Carrier Assault game mode with the update featured three gameplay stages, the final of which features a 'Star-Wars-like trench run' into the center of a ship. In June 2016, a 'trench' fighter pilot feature was added as part of a free patch with new gameplay. After the opening missions, Valkyrie splits into two game mode options: Chronicles can be played in single player, while Combat allows eight by eight combat PvP missions. The game allows single-player mode for the tutorials and several 'exploratory' levels, although as of September 2016, the game was primarily focused on PvP (player versus player) dogfighting matches. One of the central characters of the plot, RГЎn Kavik, is voiced by Katee Sackhoff. In Eve: Valkyrie, players assume the identity of a cloned ace pilot, with the pilot ostensibly remembering previous deaths and failures.

Reviews generally criticised the limited plot and limitations of single player mode, although the described 'arcade experience' was praised for having intuitive controls and 'exhilarating' dogfighting features, with PC Powerplay dubbing it 'arguably the best VR experience currently available for the platform.' Released in March 2016, the game has two game mode options: Chronicles can be played in single player, while Combat allows eight by eight combat PvP (player versus player) missions. Originally launched for Microsoft Windows for use with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, CCP Games has announced they plan to enable cross-platform play between the three major VR systems: the Oculus Rift, the HTC Vive, and the PlayStation VR. Eve: Valkyrie is a multiplayer dogfighting shooter game set in the Eve Online universe that is designed to use virtual reality headset technology.
