ILM and Lucasfilm have announced the release date for the next VR/mixed reality game, Star Wars: Beyond Victory, along with a swanky new trailer!
It may not be a full-on new podracing game, but it’s as close as we’ve gotten in a long time! ILM has shown off a fresh look at Beyond Victory, a new “mixed reality” game that gives players a brand new story set in the iconic podracing circuit. Even better, we’ve got a release date to mark in the calendars: October 7th.
“This experience is designed to celebrate storytelling, action, imagination and everything we love about Star Wars,” said Jose Perez III, Director of Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset. “We wanted to give players a new way to step inside the galaxy and make it their own.”
Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset features an all-star cast including Fin Argus (Queer as Folk), Greg Proops (Whose Line is it Anyway?), Lilimar Hernandez (Inside Out 2), Lewis MacLeod (Star Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace), Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live) and more that bring depth, humor and heart to the experience. Together this talented cast infuses the experience with the energy, charm and emotion that make Star Wars stories unforgettable.
Set during the Reign of the Empire, Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset introduces players to an original story that blends the thrilling world of podracing, powerful narrative and mixed-reality play. Developed from the ground up for Meta Quest 3 & 3S, this experience redefines what’s possible in immersive Star Wars entertainment.
At the core of Beyond Victory are three distinct gameplay modes designed to offer a wide range of play styles:
Adventure Mode delivers the primary narrative journey placing players in the role of Volo Bolus, an ambitious pilot mentored by none other than podracing legend Sebulba. Through a mix of fully immersive VR and mixed-reality, players will experience an epic Star Wars story from a bold new perspective.
Arcade Mode transforms the player’s physical space into a holotable-style racing arena where high-speed podraces are controlled from a top-down view. Each track features multiple paths to the finish line providing fast, replayable fun for fans of classic arcade gameplay.
Playset Mode invites players to unleash their creativity in a dynamic sandbox from a galaxy far, far away. Using unlockable digital action figures, including vehicles and iconic characters, fans can populate their physical environment and stage their own Star Wars stories.
Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset is set to launch on October 7, 2025 for Meta Quest 3 & 3S headsets.
