With Netflix renewing Voltron: Legendary Defender by DreamWorks, prepare to strap on your helmet, as Sony has just announced the DreamWorks Voltron VR Chronicles for the PlayStation VR! It’s said to be a "new cinematic, episodic VR experience," that will put the user in the role of the Blue Paladin, Lance.
In development by Digital Domain, DreamWorks Voltron VR Chronicles will see the "player" — you — be at the center of a massive conflict between the Voltron force and the Galra Emperor, Zarkon. The synopsis of the first episode can be read below along with the announcement trailer.
Episode 1: Seeds of Corruption
When Lance discovers the remains of a lost alien race deep within enemy space, he releases an unstoppable force that threatens to corrupt the Paladins’ control over both their Lions and Voltron. Jumping into the heart of the adventure, you must overcome the corrupt force and relentless threat of Zarkon as you struggle to solve the ancient mystery and fight your way to victory.
Fans will be glad to know that the show’s TV voice actors will be reprising their roles for the "experience," and even the showrunners will be lending their expertise to make sure it’s faithful to the source material. As for the game portion, Digital Domain’s Senior Creative Director Jaime Bencia had this to say, " The use of VR technology allows for more dynamic storytelling and incredible in-your-face action sequences. The experience will also feature moments of interactivity where the user takes control of Lance’s actions. These interactive moments include several highly engaging puzzles as well as exciting missions where the user pilots the Blue Lion, battling Galra forces with an array of highly advanced weapon systems."
DreamWorks Voltron VR Chronicles will pounce the PlayStation VR this September 26.
