Jumanji: Reverse the Curse, a fully immersive virtual reality experience, is coming to select The Void locations in November thanks to a collaboration between the LBVR operator and Sony Pictures Virtual Reality.
In advance of the upcoming film Jumanji: The Next Level, arriving in US theatres on December 13, the new VR experience will give fans the ability to take on the form of the movie’s heroes to save Jumanji from a new, mysterious villain.
Players will be enlisted on a quest to rescue the Sceptre of Se’payu, containing the Red Jewel of Jumanji and return it to the temple from which it was stolen, while evading man-eating wildlife, navigating across a treacherous landscape and battling evil henchmen.
Jumanji: Reverse the Curse is the second title produced by SPVR and The Void, following the successful Ghostbusters: Dimension, movie-based VR studio project in 2016.
“Since first collaborating on Ghostbusters: Dimension, Sony Pictures Virtual Reality has continued to believe in our unique ability to bring stories to life in a fully immersive, social and dynamic way,” said Curtis Hickman, co-founder and chief creative officer of The Void.
“Through close collaboration on this project, we have been able to develop a dimension that is more interactive and immersive than any Void experience has ever been before. Utilising new technology and more illusion design, Jumanji: Reverse the Curse is a true adventure that travellers will want to experience over and over again.”
“As the characters in Jumanji are pulled into the game, we naturally had the idea to create a VR experience where fans can do the same,” said Jake Zim, SVP of virtual reality at Sony Pictures Entertainment. “We had a fantastic experience working with The Void with Ghostbusters: Dimension and are excited to take immersive entertainment to the next level with this new Jumanji story.”
The title will be available exclusively at select The Void locations from November 27.
