Ubisoft's developing its first VR game dubbed Werewolves Within after a couple of announcements for VR experiences like Eagle Flight.

It's the classic boardgame Werewolves, a game of lies and deceptions in which villagers must find the werewolves during the day while werewolves are killing them at night.

It's coming to all "major VR platforms" (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR) this fall.
