EVE Fanfest 2015 concludes today, and it’s going out with a competitive bang. EVE: Valkyrie is built from the ground up for VR and of course multiplayer, and so CCP have organised a live streamed tournament full of space dogfighting carnage. Watch it live here.

EVE: Valkyrie and CCP’s new focus on virtual reality are two big takeaways from this year’s EVE Fanfest. With a brand new Valkyrie build running on Oculus’ latest prototype Crescent Bay, and the unveiling of the company’s VR Labs, it’s clear that CCP sees a big future in VR Gaming.

It’s fitting then that the final day of EVE Fanfest should feature a full multi-player EVE: Valkyrie tournament, with participants all donning Oculus Rift DK2s and battling each-other for both supremacy and a handful of prize DK2s.

The event starts at 2pm GMT (my local time)

Disclosure: CCP Games is covering travel and lodging expenses for one Road to VR writer to attend Fanfest 2015.
