Eagle Flight soars onto VR headsets in 2016

Ubisoft's "play as an eagle and fly around Paris being an actual eagle" tech demo has been revealed as a full game at Saturday's PlayStation Experience.

Taking the name of Eagle Flight the game will allow you to become the eagle, and explore the skies above Paris, 50 years after humans have left the city. Nature and wildlife have moved back into the city streets allowing you to explore the landscape without any of those stinky humans.

Developed by a team from the FunHouse, a division of Ubisoft Montreal, the game promises a singleplayer experience and a multiplayer that allows players to eagle up (not a phrase - ed) and join a team of up to 6 players for two cooperative modes.

One big deal here is the promise of an Ubisoft-developed VR breakthrough that provides players with "intuitive and precise controls". Apparently this will reduce largely reduce motion sickness which is great, but surely the "right stick problem" can't be solved that easily, right?

Eagle Flight launches for all the big headsets in 2016.

As with everything else from Playstation Experience, why not take a trailer?
