Video games weren’t a big part of Oculus’s Connect 4 event today in San Jose. They took a backseat to things like the new standalone Oculus Go headset and the Rift Core 2.0‘s new user interface software.

But the virtual reality company did reveal some new games and updates coming to Oculus devices. We’re included a roundup of the announcements below.

Echo Combat

This is developer Ready At Dawn’s follow-up to Echo Arena and Lone Echo. Echo Combat is coming in 2018. Oculus also teased a story-based sequel to Lone Echo.

The Unspoken single-player campaign

Insomniac’s Unspoken has players fighting each other with magical spells. Now the VR game is getting a single-player campaign later this year.

Marvel: Powers United VR

This puts you in the shoes of Marvel heroes like Thor and gives you access to their powers. A demo for it will debut November 3 at “select retail locations.”
