Insomniac Announces ‘The Unspoken’, a Magical Multiplayer Oculus Touch Exclusive

12

Insomniac Games, the studio known for series such as Ratchet & Clank and Spyro the Dragon, today announced an Oculus Touch exclusive that promises to have you throwing fire balls and wielding magic of all sorts. It’s called The Unspoken.

Boasting more than 25 spells and multiple arenas where you can play against friends and strangers, The Unspoken features an urban setting where you face off in magical 1v1 multiplayer combat. You’ll be able to cast spells, summon scary monsters, create helpful golems to do your bidding, draw powerful shields to protect yourself from your enemy’s arcane onslaught, and break your enemy’s shield with magical javelins—and all using the Oculus Touch hand controllers.

Insomniac is investing heavily into virtual reality lately, with their yet-to-release Lovecraftian horror Edge of Nowhere releasing June 6th, and the newly announced Feral Rights, a VR adventure brawler that lets you turn into a beast so you can duke it out with other players coming in Fall 2016. Oculus Studios, the company’s production wing, is publishing all three VR games exclusively on the Oculus Store.

The Unspoken is slated to arrive during holiday season of 2016, while Oculus Touch is said to arrive in the second half of 2016.
