    Lone Echo and Echo Arena

     

    This game turned out to be two projects; a standalone adventure 2017, a Lone Echo , and a separate multiplayer game called Echo Arena. In each game you use the locomotion of weightlessness, where players can float in the air, off walls. In the Lone Echo, players control a robot named Jack who helps captain Olivia Rhodes is on a dangerous mission in deep space, while Echo Arena offers a futuristic cybersport. Both titles were successful; Lone Echo was, at least for some time the best selling game Rift from Facebook generating revenue of $ 1 million, and the Echo Arena gave rise to the expansion of Echo Combat.

     

    Currently Ready at Dawn is working on port Echo Arena, which is called Echo VR for the Oculus Quest. It is now available free for public beta testing, while the Lone Echo 2 will be released on Oculus Rift later this year. Facebook announces additional projects for the Studio today.
