Hologate, a world leader in the development of multiplayer virtual reality systems, has announced the launch of a new VR experience – the Das Boot – VR Escape.

The innovative virtual reality system was showcased at IAAPA Expo 2019 in Orlando. The attraction will be rolled out around the world to Hologate Arena systems.

The Das Boot – VR Escape propels players on an immersive submarine experience centred on the much-loved TV series, ‘Das Boot.’

Players work together taking to try and take control of a German submarine by intercepting allied ships sailing the Atlantic. The action takes place in an escape room-style environment, as players have to guide a damaged boat back to safety, while avoiding additional enemy fire.

Players onboard the U0612 vessel can take the role of four different characters, the Chief Engineer, the Watch Officer, the Commander and the Helmsman.

Hologate’s virtual reality turnkey systems are featured in more than 300 locations around the world, with more than five million players taking part in the VR games each year, making Hologate the largest network of VR multiplayer systems.
