PlayStation VR owners got a treat during Sony’s Paris Games Week 2017 press conference as Ultrawings got an impressive trailer. This upcoming PSVR title allows players to take flight, and pilot airplanes across an open-world island. The gameplay trailer shows some of the goals that players will have, such as flying through cones. As the name would suggest, it seems to draw inspiration from the Pilotwings series, yet is also putting its own twist on things.
Here’s how developer Bit Planet Games describes their PlayStation VR title Ultrawings:

Check out the Ultrawings PSVR trailer below:
“When I was 13 I had an extremely vivid dream of flying an ultralight across the ocean,” said Bit Planet Games Founder and Studio Director Christopher Stockman. “It was so realistic that I ended up writing a short story about that experience the next morning. Now over 25 years later I can finally turn that dream into (virtual) reality!”
Ultrawings is “coming soon” to PlayStation VR.
