EVE: Valkyrie is a multiplayer spaceship dogfighting shooter set in the EVE Universe for Playstation VR (PS4), and Oculus Rift/HTC Vive (PC), using VR technology to give players the experience of being an actual pilot in an EVE space fighter.

Actress Katee Sackhoff will play the starring role in their upcoming virtual reality (VR) videogame EVE: Valkyrie.  Sackhoff has been featured in some of the biggest entertainment franchises, including Battlestar Galactica, Riddick, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and is currently starring in A&E Network’s Longmire.  Sackhoff will play the role of Rán, the leader of the Valkyrie fighter pilots in EVE Online’s New Eden universe.

Eve Online developer CCP Games has revealed (thanks PCGamesN) that it is no longer developing any VR titles for the time being, which explains the recent EVE: Valkyrie - Warzone release, dropping the VR requirement of the spaceship dogfighting shooter. As a result CCP is shutting down it's offices in Atlanta and Newcastle, resulting in about 1,000 people being laid off.

"Despite the success of the VR games we have released we will be shifting our focus to our PC and mobile initiatives, and will be centralizing those initiatives, along with the support of our existing VR games, to our offices in Reykjavík and London," said Pétursson in a prepared statement. "We will continue to support our VR games but will not be making material VR investments until we see market conditions that justify further investments beyond what we have already made. I am very proud of our VR games and, more importantly, of the people here who made them."
