Being developed by Guerrilla Games and Firespite, players will experience the game, through the eyes of a brand new character in the series.

Along with the headset, Sony will also ship the PlayStation VR 2 Sense controller, which the company says will, "create an incredibly deep feeling of immersion."

The controller has its own six-axis motion sensing system, finger touch detection and the normal face buttons, and triggers that you get with the PlayStation 5 controller.

It also supports haptic feedback, using a single actuator per unit.

Both, the headset and the controller, will use USB Type-C for connections and the Sense controller has built-in-batteries that can be charged over USB Type-C.
