The launch of this new experience in Bristol further centralises Bristol's influence in the gaming industry as a cultural hub.

The deeply immersive social VR experiences brings socialising with friends to a new dimension; battling zombies in a survival game, intergalactic firefights in space and solving puzzles in fantastical alien worlds.

Players enter the arena equipped with headsets, headphones, and a gun (for shooter games) to navigate their full-motion avatars through the Ready Player One-like worlds. Senses are heightened as gamers manoeuvre through the hyper-realistic virtually generated world, all while set in a 200 sqm free roam VR arena.

Pioneers and global leaders in warehouse scale and multiplayer reality gaming, Zero Latency are revitalising social gaming by offering visitors next generational group entertainment, enhanced with world leading free-roam VR. Unlike other VR experiences, where you play solo in a confined area whilst tethered to a computer or cords, players can freely roam the arena, explore and fight together.

Perfect for first time gamers and thrill-seekers alike, games feature advanced storytelling, ultra-realistic enemies and epic final boss battles. Games become ultra-competitive as groups are ranked against one another based on their skillset; number of kills and deaths.

Bristol will host Zero Latency’s full game product offering including:

• FARCRY VR - Fight your way across Rook Islands’ vast environments. Come face-to-face with Vaas as you and your group dive deeper and deeper into the jungle. You’re about to discover the definition of insanity.
• Zombie Survival - Picture this: you’re bunkered in a fort and surrounded by a mass of zombies. Can you stay alive until the rescue team arrives? An experience for thrill seekers.
• Outbreak Origins – Prepare yourself for epic battles. A deadly virus is wreaking havoc, causing hordes of zombies to take over the city. The dead are walking and your squad needs to do something quick!
• Singularity - Ever wondered how you’d fair against killer robots and rogue drones? You and your mates will investigate a secret military space station and take on the Terminators.
• Engineerium - Perfect for first-timers and virtual reality experimenters. Ease you and your mates into VR through this avatar-like, fantasy world that combines platform and maze challenges.
• And more...

Opening of the new site in Bristol, was selected by CEO John Lilley who has been involved in teaching children code in Bristol through his business Junior Game Creators over many years.

John Lilley, Chief Experience Officer at meetspaceVR said “We’re delighted to bring Zero Latency to Bristol, one of the UK’s cultural hubs for creative arts and culture.

I’ve been promising our Junior Game Creators we would arrive in Bristol soon and it’s been my ambition to open a store in the city as promised. There’s a growing appetite for cutting-edge socially engaging VR experiences and the games we offer cater to a wide audience from avid-gamers to first time visitors, but at the heart of every game is the key aspect that gaming is better when played together.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to escape the everyday and can’t wait to watch players battle against zombies and sacrifice their friends so that they can win! you'll soon learn who the screamer is in your squad!”
