Lone Echo 2 VR release date, details and everything we know
Here's everything we know about Lone Echo 2, coming soon to Oculus Rift and Oculus Quest via Air Link.
What is Lone Echo 2?
Lone Echo 2 continues the journey of Captain Olivia "Liv" Rhodes and Echo One "Jack" following the events of 2017's Lone Echo. After waking up in a mysterious space station, they must solve many mysteries to find their way home.
Lone Echo 2's gameplay simulates zero-gravity space mechanics where players use thrusters to move around. Puzzle solving is a key feature of story progression, but players should also expect to dodge enemy AI in the sequel.
Lone Echo 2 is developed by Ready at Dawn, responsible for many Sony games like The Order: 1886 (PS4), God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghost of Sparta (both on PSP), with Okami on the Nintendo Wii.
When is Lone Echo 2 coming out?
No specific release date has been announced beyond an expected summer 2021 release date. This time frame was revealed during the April 2021 Oculus Gaming Showcase event.

Specific pricing has yet to be announced. But, Lone Echo is priced at $39,99 on the Oculus store, and we expect the Lone Echo 2 to be priced similarly.
Where can you play Lone Echo 2?
Lone Echo 2 is exclusive to FaceBook's Oculus platform of VR headsets. The game will run natively on Oculus Rift headsets. But owners of Oculus Quest headsets can enjoy Lone Echo 2 by connecting to a VR-ready PC via the Oculus Link cable or Air Link wireless connection.
Air Link is an upcoming feature that allows the Oculus Quest series to wirelessly stream VR games from the PC directly to the headset. We also expect owners to be able to stream Lone Echo 2 to Oculus Quest through the Virtual Desktop app, available on the Oculus store.
