Battlezone PSVR launch trailer is a total blast

Rebellion has unleashed the official Battlezone launch trailer to celebrate the release of the futuristic tank blaster on PlayStation VR today.

Battlezone offers adrenaline-fueled tank combat for up to four players, and includes a procedurally generated campaign ensuring that no two playthroughs are the same. Based on the retro classic title of the same name, Battlezone brings the series up to modern standards with dazzling visuals and immerses players in full virtual reality thanks to Sony’s new headset. 

"When we set out to bring BATTLEZONE to PlayStation VR, we were always adamant we wanted to create a fully-fledged game, and not something you’d just call an experience," said Rebellion CEO and Co-founder Jason Kingsley OBE. "It’s great to see so many positive early reviews, and I’m personally so thrilled to see one of gaming’s most beloved IPs come back to VR with a bang!

"The original arcade game inspired a generation of gamers and developers, including my brother and me. If our BATTLEZONE is even a fraction as influential, we’ll be delighted."

Check out the launch trailer below.
