Battle head-to-head with the King of Monsters at VR Zone’s brand new Osaka location.
With popular film reboots in both Japan and the U.S, an ongoing anime adaptation currently streaming on Netflix, and a couple of confirmed sequels right around the corner, it’s never been a better time to be a towering, prehistoric sea monster strengthened by nuclear radiation.
Now it seems as though VR Zone, Bandai Namco’s mega popular location-based VR arcade, has caught a bit of Godzilla-fever themselves as the company announced a unique, multiplayer VR experience that would allow visitors to go head-to-head with the God of Destruction.
Debuting at the launch of VR Zone’s newest Osaka location later this year, the location-based experience will allow friends to team up against the alpha predator using a combination of HTC Vive VR headsets and custom motion chair equipped with dual joysticks. Taking on the role of chopper pilots, users will have to deploy an arsenal of destructive firepower in order to protect the city from Godzilla’s equally devastating attacks.
Based on the video provided, it looks as though the experience will include all the key ingredients for a classic Godzilla fight: epic amounts of environmental destruction, jaw-dropping explosions, and of course, the signature atomic breath.
The upcoming Godzilla VR experience will launch alongside the opening of VR Zone Osaka later this year in Japan. Seeing as the new location will include many of the popular attractions at the Shinjuku arcade, you can expect this Godzilla experience to eventually make its way to the original location at some point.
Bandai Namco recently launched its new Dragonquest VR experience at the original Shinjuku location this past April.
Godzilla made its VR debut back in 2016 with Shin Godzilla VR available for Japanese PS VR users. The monster also dipped its toes into AR back in May with Tokyo’s Godzilla Nights event, powered by Microsoft’s Hololens.
