EVE Online creator CCP Games has revealed that its virtual-reality spin-off, EVE: Valkyrie, will come bundled with all pre-orders of the Oculus Rift when the device launches in early 2016.

EVE: Valkyrie will likely be the start of a VR surge for developer CCP, who recently raised $30 million to "drive innovation" in the VR sector. 

"We believe VR will revolutionize not just video games, but the wider technology and media industry as a whole," said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP.  

"We were there at the beginning, and this investment will give us strength to maintain our leading development efforts."
