As well as announcing the launch of their new Oculus Quest stand-alone virtual reality headset during the Oculus Connect 5 Opening Keynote yesterday, Oculus has also announced the creation of a new virtual reality space adventure in the form of Lone Echo 2.
The Legacy of Lone Echo
The original Lone Echo, developed by Ready at Dawn and published by Oculus Studios in 2017, was highly praised for its innovative gameplay and immersive storytelling. Unlike many VR games that focus on action and quick reflexes, Lone Echo offered a more contemplative experience, allowing players to explore the rings of Saturn in a zero-gravity environment. The game was lauded for its realistic physics, detailed environments, and emotional depth, setting a high bar for VR experiences.
The sequel, Lone Echo 2, promises to build on this legacy, offering even more intricate puzzles, deeper narrative elements, and enhanced graphics. However, unlike the original, the sequel will only be available to play on Oculus hardware, making it a must-have for Oculus users. This exclusivity is part of Oculus’s strategy to create a unique ecosystem of high-quality VR content that can only be experienced on their platforms.
What to Expect in Lone Echo 2
Check out the announcement trailer for Lone Echo 2 below to learn more about what you can expect from the new virtual reality space adventure game.

An immersive 360-degree trailer has also been created and released for the new Lone Echo 2 VR, which is available from the Oculus website by following the link below. This 360-degree experience allows players to get a feel for the game’s zero-gravity mechanics and breathtaking environments, making it a perfect teaser for what’s to come.
“Jack and Liv are back in the highly anticipated sequel to the groundbreaking zero-g adventure from Ready At Dawn and Oculus Studios. Return to the rings of Saturn on a journey that takes you deeper into the mysteries of space—past the very boundaries of time itself. Venture beyond the unknown in Lone Echo II.
The game will continue to explore the relationship between Jack, an advanced AI, and Liv, a human astronaut. Their dynamic was one of the highlights of the original game, and fans are eager to see how their story evolves in the sequel. The developers have hinted at new challenges and environments that will test the limits of both characters, pushing them to their breaking points and beyond.
In addition to the narrative elements, Lone Echo 2 will feature improved mechanics and new gameplay features. Players can expect more complex puzzles, enhanced interaction with the environment, and even more realistic physics. The game aims to provide a truly immersive experience, making players feel as if they are actually floating in space.
