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. 

The Battlezone PC beta launches on Wednesday, April 19th ahead of the full game's arrival on Oculus Rift and, confirmed today, HTC Vive.

A limited number of Oculus Rift and HTC Vive users will be invited to the closed beta, which will run for one week. Players can sign up now on the Battlezone site, with registration closing this Thursday, April 13th. 

The new PC version of Battlezone is optimized for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, offering new features such as ultra-high resolution textures, customizable super-sampling, higher resolution shadow maps and Oculus Touch compatibility.

It also features all of the additions and improvements patched into the PlayStation VR version since launch, and all of the paid customizable content will be available via Steam and the Oculus™ Store.
