New ‘Star Wars’ Mixed Reality Game ‘Beyond Victory’ Exclusively Launching on Quest 3 & 3S

ILM and Lucasfilm just revealed they’re crafting another exciting Star Wars adventure, and this time it’s an immersive mixed reality experience titled Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset.

This intriguing new game is set to hit exclusively on Meta’s Quest 3 and 3S platforms. Fans of the series will find themselves transported back to the era around Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), offering a unique blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling.

Details are still quite scarce, but what we do know is thrilling. Prepare for the adrenaline rush of podracing, as players will encounter the character Volo Bolus and team up with the famed podracer pilot Sebulba. This promises to be a dynamic, heart-pounding mixed reality experience that’s bound to captivate fans.

The term ‘Playset’ hints at the potential inclusion of various mixed reality mini-games. However, ILM is keeping tight-lipped, leaving us to speculate and eagerly anticipate more information.

ILM is known for its deliberate, teasing release of game details, slowly unveiling characters and key features as launch day approaches. Although we’re still waiting on a specific release date and any official trailers, the excitement is palpable.

The anticipation won’t last too long, thankfully. Meta has announced that attendees of the ‘Star Wars Celebration 2025’ in Tokyo, Japan, from April 18-20, will be among the first to experience this new game. Over a dozen demo stations will provide hands-on playtime, alongside demos of ILM’s previous VR hits, Vader Immortal and Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge.

So, why venture into mixed reality for this game? Jose Perez III, the Director behind Star Wars: Beyond Victory, explains that mixing reality has opened many new avenues for immersion. It lets the awe-inspiring Star Wars galaxy come to life in players’ living rooms in ways never seen before.

Also, it’s worth noting that Meta’s support has been instrumental. They’ve backed ILM’s Star Wars VR projects in the past, and their involvement continues to elevate these groundbreaking experiences.
