'Battlezone' (ALL) Confirms 4-Player VR Co-Op - Screens & Trailer

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. 

What’s better than piloting the most powerful tank in the galaxy?

The answer of course was blindingly obvious: piloting the most powerful tank in the galaxy right next to your friends… who are also piloting the most powerful tanks in the galaxy!

Yes, that’s right, Battlezone’s entire campaign can not only be played solo, but also in online co-op for two to four players.

The immersion of VR combined with the headsets’ built-in mics make you really feel like a badass fireteam. Nothing beats seeing your comrades-in-arms boost past you, cannons ablaze, as you take down all in your path.

Co-op isn’t just a nice extra, either. Specific combinations of playstyles, loadouts, and tank types complement each other in different ways, and certain Special Equipment can be used to boost the abilities of your teammates in combat (Yes, there’s even a revive mechanic, too!).

Tanks can be equipped with up to three weapons and one piece of “special equipment.” Saving Data earned in previous battles and playthroughs means you can spend it on new weapons, new special equipment, new modulators for your tank, and intel on the campaign map. But beware, enemies also level up at their own pace! More about that in a second…


The Rotberg Corporation: A glistening industrial complex dominating all that remains of the neon wastelands of Earth.

Humanity: Enslaved, exiled and on the edge of extinction.

You: Mankind’s last hero. The planet’s only hope.

Take control of The Cobra – the most powerful vehicle ever built – and experience the future of virtual reality combat.

You’ve seen war. Now feel it.

Load the Cobra with a wide range of devastating weapons and awesome combat utilities. Outflank and outwit the enemy, cut through its legions of ground and airborne troops and blast your way to a final confrontation with the metal mind of the Rotberg Corp.
