Designed for the next generation of virtual reality devices, Battlezone delivers intense first-person tank warfare across gorgeous neon landscapes, combining the instant adrenaline of the arcade with a deeper tactical challenge.

Battlezone is a bold homage to Atari's classic 1980 arcade game, widely regarded as the forefather of virtual reality gaming with its distinctive periscope display.

Designed for the next wave of virtual reality devices, Battlezone gives you unrivalled battlefield awareness, a monumental sense of scale and breathless combat intensity. You are in the cockpit of a super weapon. Your instincts and senses respond to every threat on the battlefield as enemy swarms loom over you and super-heated projectiles whistle past your ears.

Battlezone features thrilling first-person tank combat set across gorgeous neon landscapes, immersing you fully within the cockpit of an ultra-advanced superweapon. In Battlezone you sense the battlefield through the power of VR, as enemy swarms loom over you and super-heated projectiles whistle past your ears. 

Rebellion is thrilled to reveal that Battlezone supports PS4 Pro, offering a crisper, more vibrant experience, making piloting the galaxy's most powerful tank feel even more real.
