Gamescom 2016: Ubisoft Confirms Star Trek: Bridge Crew Virtual Reality Release Date

Dates for your diary.

By Alysia Judge

Ubisoft has inked three firm release dates in its calendar for upcoming virtual reality games Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Eagle Flight, and Werewolves Within.

The hat trick of VR titles will be arriving on PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive before 2016 takes its final bow.

First up will be Eagle Flight, which will make its nest on Oculus Rift on October 18. PlayStation VR will follow on November 8, and HTC Vive on December 20. The game will feature both single and multiplayer modes in a capture the flag-esque flight across the skies of Paris.

Meanwhile, November will see the official release of Star Trek: Bridge Crew. The game puts players in the shoes of a Federation crew member, where they can navigate their own starship through space by themselves or with friends. Bridge Crew will launch simultaneously on all three platforms on November 29.

The final title, Werewolves Within, is the VR version of the popular round-the-campfire game Werewolf. It's a whodunnit of sorts that's played in teams of between five and eight where you must figure out which player among you is the werewolf picking off the townspeople. Werewolves Within launches on Oculus Rift, PSVR and HTC Vive on November 8.

Ubisoft also added that the arcade racer TrackMania Turbo will be bagging a VR update, which will add PlayStation VR support from November 8.
