Crytek (Crysis 3, Warface) has just lifted the lid on their next game, and it's a VR title made using the studio's Cryengine. They've called it Robinson: The Journey, and the press release explains it thus:

Robinson: The Journey will offer players an unparalleled sense of presence in a game world as they assume the role of a young boy who has crash-landed on a mysterious planet. With freedom to explore their surroundings in 360 degrees of detail, players will become pioneers by interacting with the rich ecosystem around them and unearthing incredible secrets at every turn.

"Ever since Crytek was founded, we have been striving to build the most realistic, believable worlds we possibly can for players," director of production David Bowman said. "Today's VR technologies are enabling us to bring together Cryengine's capabilities and our legacy in creating immersive gaming experiences like never before. The time we're spending in Robinson: The Journey as we develop it is transforming the way we think about games, and we can't wait until everyone has the chance to set foot in this universe for themselves."
