“2016 is the year of VR, and we are committed to providing a full range of the best and most innovative experiences for PlayStation VR at launch.

Jason Kingsley OBE, Co-founder of Rebellion, also commented:

“We are delighted Rebellion can work with PlayStation® to give Battlezone a boxed, retail release. We’re extremely proud of Battlezone; it’s a title that helps to show just how powerful and transformative an experience VR can be.”

“With help from our friends at PlayStation, Battlezone will have an even broader reach than we could have imagined. Right from the earliest days of Project Morpheus they’ve played a huge part in supporting independent VR games development and worked closely with our team to deliver the kind of complete VR gameplay experience players have been calling out for. We know you’ll love it if you play it – and now you’ve got no excuse not to!”
