Echo Combat Costs Out Now For $9.99, Launch Trailer Released

Update (11/15/18): As of today, Echo Combat is now available on Oculus Home. More details below and you can read both of our previous hands-on impressions previews here and here.

Original (11/12/18): The long-anticipated expansion to Echo VR is nearly here, and we now know how much it’ll cost.

Oculus and Ready At Dawn today confirmed that Echo Combat will cost $9.99 when it launches on the Oculus Rift on November 15th at 12pm PST. You’ll be able to purchase the expansion as a DLC pack either on the Oculus Store page or from directly within Echo VR via the main menu or terminals in the lobby. Echo VR’s base game, Echo Arena, will still be available for free. Enjoy the new launch trailer below.

An Oculus Rift exclusive, Echo Combat provides a new twist on the zero-gravity gameplay first seen in Echo Arena and Lone Echo. You’ll take part in online battles in which you’ll seek to gun down other players as you throw yourself across arenas, protecting objectives and looking to destroy enemy targets.

The game’s going to launch with an assortment of new maps and weapons. Oculus also revealed that it’s bumping team sizes from 3v3 to 4v4 and confirmed that the game will feature a new progression system in which you’ll gain experience in public matches to unlock new cosmetic customization options.

Oculus says Ready At Dawn will continue to support the game throughout 2019, so expect even more content down the line.

Elsewhere, Ready At Dawn is also working on the sequel to the single-player portion of the Echo universe, Lone Echo II. You can see a new 360-degree trailer inside your Rift right here.
