Overkill Software will be bringing its The Walking Dead game to E3, but prior to the start of the show, the developer behind the Payday series has announced it will be a VR game. Not only that, but Starbreeze has emerged as an unlikely competitor in the growing VR wars, announcing that it would release its own headset, dubbed Star VR.

Starbreeze made the announcement during a special event at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. The VR headset is an ambitious piece of work, with Starbreeze noting that it would include dual 5K resolution monitors, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 210 degree field of view.

Look for more detailed impressions on Star VR, as well as Overkill's The Walking Dead, to come tomorrow.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
