Rebellion’s Battlezone Reboot Is A VR Game With Classic Flair
When Rebellion announced it had picked up Atari's Battlezone, older gamers (like me) smiled broadly. Today we get our first look at the blocky throwback to 80s gaming, with the VR remake of the 1980 arcade classic.
Battlezone looks exactly like you would expect to, though the images are sharper and the colors brighter. It’s coming to PlayStation VR so we can blow up our friends in an intimate way.
Sony also announced an Until Dawn VR rail shooter, Tekken 7 for PlayStation VR, Crytek's Robinson: The Journey, and gave us a new look at its "sport of the future," the mech-powered RIGS.
Note: Rebellion reached out to let us know that its upcoming Battlezone is an homage to the original 1980 arcade game. We've updated the story to reflect the correct information.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
