Lone Echo’s VR multiplayer Echo Arena is like playing Ultimate Frisbee in zero gravity

Ready At Dawn Studios looks like it has a real winner in the virtual reality game Lone Echo and its multiplayer companion Echo Arena. It is a wonderfully creative mix of experiences in VR, reminiscent of science fiction films like Tron and Ender’s Game, real-world sports like soccer, and fantasy sports like Quidditch in the Harry Potter books.

I played Echo Arena at a preview event held by developer Ready At Dawn Studios and publisher Oculus Studios, which will bring the title later this year to the Oculus Rift and Touch VR platform. It’s a 5-versus-5 VR game where players fly through zero gravity and try to get a disc into the opponent’s goal.
