Picked up from the Oculus subreddit here, it looks like DigitalSpy accidentally posted an early article for an upcoming VR game from Red Storm called Star Trek: Bridge Crew. Judging by the screenshots, it appears to be a 4-player multiplayer game where each player is a different crew member on the bridge of a new Federation starship:

It's a four-player co-op experience, with you and three mates taking on the various roles of the bridge crew Captain, Helmsman, Engineer and Tactical Officer. The entire game is mission-based, but you'll need to work together with your fellow Bridge Crew members to make sure you accomplish all the various tasks.
You'll be communicating to each other as you explore, encountering the Klingons and other alien species en route.
The Bridge Crew experience is highly social. That's the type of VR we've been exploring at Red Storm social VR," explained David Votypka, Senior Creative Director at Red Storm. "Like with Werewolves Within, we really take the tech and apply it to this brand. The social element is already in the DNA of the Star Trek brand.
"They rely on each other. They have to communicate and work together. That dynamic about the brand is like a perfect fit for this technology, where you have that presence. You feel like you're there with other people, but you also get to do it on the bridge of a Federation starship."
Star Trek: Bridge Crew uses hand-tracking and special lip sync technology to make you feel like you're talking to real characters and really are part of the USS Aegis crew.
Probably to be revealed in a few days officially at E3.
