Today at Oculus Connect 6, Respawn™ Entertainment, a studio of
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) and Oculus from Facebook revealed
Medal of Honor™: Above and Beyond, coming next year exclusively to
VR, on the Oculus Rift platform. Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond
will deliver its most authentic and immersive World War II
experience from the series to date.
The game, which is being built for Oculus Rift from the ground
up by a team comprised of veteran developers of the series, will
put players in the role of an agent in the Office of Strategic
Services (OSS). Players will go behind enemy lines to sabotage Nazi
facilities, subvert enemy plans, and aid the French Resistance.
Players will also experience a rich, exciting single-player
campaign that takes them through historic events on land, air, and
sea, all in virtual reality. Watch the first gameplay footage in
the developer diary here.
Additionally, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond will include
unique multiplayer modes and features when it releases in Summer
2020. The game will lean into the franchise’s history of education
through entertainment, bringing the stories of WWII veterans to
life for players in emotionally powerful ways.
“It’s a great feeling to introduce Medal of Honor to a whole new
generation of gamers on a new platform for the franchise,” said
Peter Hirschmann, Game Director. “I’ve been fortunate to be a part
of this franchise since the beginning, and putting this game on the
Oculus Rift allows us to be more immersive than we’ve ever been
before. If the game we’re making ignites people’s imaginations and
illuminates the world, then we’ve accomplished what we’ve set out
to do.”
