Insomniac’s mystery VR game is Stormland, an open-world adventure for Oculus Rift

Oculus vice president of content Jason Rubin said that the virtual reality platform was looking for “bigger, deeper” projects in 2018 — and that’s just what Stormland is. It’s the latest from Insomniac Games and Oculus Studios, an ambitious open-world adventure starring a robot who must save its planet from invaders called The Tempest. It’s slated for a 2019 release for Oculus Rift.

The heart of Stormland is your journey up into a sea of clouds to fight The Tempest and rescue your people. But along the way, you decide where to explore and what items to craft. As you soar from island to island, you’ll discover new flora and fauna and scavenge resources that will give you a boost in your battles ahead. In combat, a few different strategies and weapons are available. Players can choose to storm in with shock grenades, or they can sneak around the back of their robotic enemies and take out their batteries. Folks can also choose to tackle this as a solo adventurer or as a multiplayer experience.
