HTC is developing its own virtual reality game for the Vive

HTC is developing a virtual reality game for its Vive headset called Front Defense, and the company plans on demoing it at the Computex conference in Taipei, Taiwan next week. Little is known about the game, as translated marketing material simply describes it as a wartime shooter game.

It's an unusual move for the Taiwanese phone maker, which has not traditionally been involved in game development, let alone creating titles made for VR. However, since partnering with Valve to produce the Vive, HTC has set aside money to help foster emerging VR game studios and creators in order to bring more content to its platform. Just last week, HTC announced its Vive X, a $100 million accelerator program starting in Beijing, Taipei, and San Francisco for startups who want to use its technology to create VR experiences.
