Remember that Blade Runner sequel announced earlier this year? It finally has a name—and no, it’s not Blade Runner 2. The sequel to one of the greatest science-fiction films of all time is now known as Blade Runner 2049, and it’s coming out one year from now on October 6, 2017, not January 2018 as previously announced.

If that wasn’t to wet your sci-fi whistle, Oculus has also confirmed that Blade Runner 2049 will be released in virtual reality on the Oculus Rift and other Oculus platforms (read: Samsung Gear VR), as well as in cinemas. Whether that means there will be a simultaneous release is unclear, but Oculus has promised to reveal more details at a later date.

Oh, and a series of experiences about classic Disney characters are also coming to Oculus.
