Google has finally unveiled the Daydream head-mounted display (HMD), a fabric covered device with a Bluetooth remote/controller. While hardware was the main news along with launch details and price, on the videogame front the news was some what lacking. Only CCP Game’s Gunjack sequel made it into the event along with educational title Starchart. But that’s not to say there isn’t immersive content coming to the device as developers have begun revealing projects online. One of which is White Elk Studios with its first-person title Eclipse.
Taking to Twitter the developer said: “We are thrilled to announce Eclipse is coming to #Daydream!” No further details have been released for the title which until now had only been confirmed for Sony Interactive Entertainment’s (SIE) PlayStation VR.

Finding the Artifact, a mysterious device that lets them control elements of the world around them and interact with the ancient technology, players must collect various fragments that make up the device to escape the planet.
