Sony said it will launch a free demo of The Last Guardian for the PlayStation VR on December 12.

Shawn Layden, head of Sony’s game business, made the announcement tonight at the beginning of its PlayStation Experience event in Anaheim, California. Layden said he spent much of his career in games overseeing The Last Guardian and was delighted when it shipped on the PlayStation 4 last year. Now he’s happy to give players a taste of it on PSVR.

Sony also unveiled a new PSVR game, Firewall Zero Hour, as a new four-versus-four attack and defend shooter game. It looked a bit like Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege title, only in VR.

And Sony is also launching Wipeout VR on the PSVR as well.
