Sunset Overdrive developers Insomniac announce two new Oculus Rift VR games

Insomniac Games, creators of the Ratchet and Clank series and more recently Sunset Overdrive for the Xbox One, announced two new games that it is making for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. One, The Unspoken, is due for release in November 2016, while the other, Feral Rites, is launching sometime this fall.

Here's what Insomniac has to say about The Unspoken:

An Oculus Touch‐enabled VR action game that pulls players into a hidden world of spellcasting and magician's duels. Manipulate the environment around you with the powerful arcane forces that flow through your fingertips, summon ghastly monstrosities with your bare hands, and rise up through the ranks of an urban magic fight club in supernatural PVP combat.

Feral Rites has a much different slant:

Avenge the death of your father by fighting your way through missions and quests in this VR adventure-brawler. Set on a mystical island, explore unique areas of the island from jungles to temples, while mastering new abilities including the power to transform into a feral beast.

Both games are scheduled to be shown at E3 2016 in June.
