Hawken to Launch With Oculus Rift Support in December

Hawken will support the Oculus Rift virtual reality display when it releases on December 12. Oculus owners will be able to look around the interior of an exclusive cockpit interior, as well as get a more three dimensional sense of the battlefield.

Presently, the only way to acquire the Oculus Rift is to pre-order a development kit from the Kickstarter page, which will run you about $300. Retail units will roll out at an unspecified date in the future.

Hawken is a free-to-play multiplayer shooter for PC that IGN enjoyed at E3, where Executive Editor Charles Onyett gave some face-on impressions of the Oculus Rift.

This is the second title to take advantage of the Oculus Rift, joining Doom 3: BFG Edition Do you think virtual reality is really the future of gaming?
