Running from March 16th – 19th, Facebook will be announcing new updates and trailers from what it calls “anticipated games” coming to both its Quest and Rift platforms.

Facebook additionally says that updates will be announced for VR titles Pistol Whip from Cloudhead Games, and Beat Saber from Beat Games. More info is also coming for Quest titles The Room VR: A Dark Matter from Fireproof Games, Lies Beneath from Drifter Entertainment, and Phantom: Covert Ops from nDreams, the company says in a blog post.

    Could we possibly hear something about Assasins Creed and Splinter Cell? Or are they saving the big announcements for Oculus connect? Are we even sure these games is in the works? There’s not been any official word on them yet right?

    • I would love that as well! But I bet more on OC7 for that announcement… they have still to release Medal Of Honor…

  • Yay!
