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.
No two campaigns will play the same
Delivering a dynamic campaign that blends procedural and randomised content, no two players will experience the same playthrough - offering a substantial campaign experience with near unlimited replayability.
Whenever a player starts a new campaign, the game’s “Hex” campaign map is re-generated procedurally, and dozens of environments, levels and mission types are blended together in new combinations for a completely different experience each time. Then it’s up to the players to forge their own path to the game’s epic finale.
Battlezone’s latest campaign trailer also showcases the game’s impressive revamped VR cockpit, brand new enemies and diverse environments including a new night-time arena, glowing industrial environments, windswept ice wastes, and a heavily updated version of the “neon” level made famous in the game’s original teaser.
Rebellion CEO and Creative Director Jason Kingsley doesn’t shy away from what the independent studio wants to offer with its PlayStation VR launch title: "I think VR has an unfair reputation for just offering cool bitesize experiences, but we want to come out firing and deliver the kind of substantial content early adopters are crying out for. "Obviously we're hoping that Battlezone will be one of the first PlayStation VR games players buy, but we're also designing it to be the one they return to time and time again... once VR has taken over the world of course!"
