Oculus and ILM announce a VR series: "Star Wars: Vader Immortal"
Anything Star Wars gets my attention, but today's stage of VR doesn't excite me. Maybe this will be the thing...
I dunno what a VR series is either. TV you virtually live?
Via Venture Beat:
Vader Immortal: Episode I - the first in a three-part series - was written and executive produced by David S. Goyer, and it takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope (a period the excellent Darth Vader comics tackle as well). Players trek to Vader's castle (it first "new canon" appearance is in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) on the volcanic world of Mustafar in a "yet untold" story in the Star Wars universe.
"Whether it's hearing Darth Vader's breathing behind you and physically turning to face him in person or wielding a lightsaber with your own hands, Vader Immortal captures the ultimate wish fulfillment," Oculus head of experience Colum Slevin said in a statement. "Untethered VR immerses you in this universe and places you at the center of this amazing story."
