The newest experience heading to VR attraction The VOID is Avengers: Damage Control. Due to launch on October 18th, the experience will take players to iconic MCU locations and have them fight alongside the likes of Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and the Wasp.

The Void is a location-based VR attraction where players don headsets and haptics vests, and physically navigate through a stage filled with props and immersive tricks which bring the virtual world to life in a unique way. The attraction is home to a variety of experiences based on recognizable IP like Ghostbusters, Wreck-It Ralph, and Star Wars.

The latest experience coming to The Void is Avengers: Damage Control which got a teaser trailer along with the announcement today:

The experience is set to launch initially on October 18th for a “limited run” at 11 of The Voids locations across the US and Canada (and one in Malaysia). Tickets are on sale as of today for $40; you can find a list of the initial locations here.

Here’s the tease:

Assemble alongside Earth’s mightiest heroes in Avengers: Damage Control, an all-new virtual reality adventure from Marvel Studios and ILMxLAB. Shuri has recruited your team of four to test her latest prototype design, a powerful new suit that combines Wakandan and Stark Industries technologies. When a familiar enemy from the Avengers’ past seeks to steal the technology for themselves, your team must stop them before they unleash an oppressive new age upon the planet. Fight alongside some of your favorite Avengers like Doctor Strange, Wasp, Ant-Man, and more in a race to protect the world. Suit up, step in, and save the world in the ultimate Marvel Studios immersive experience. Available exclusively for a limited time at The VOID.

Avengers: Damage Control is developed in partnership with ILMxLAB, Lucasfilm’s immersive story studio, which has been behind a handful of notable VR experiences including Vader Immortal and The Void’s very own Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire.

    I imagine going to a public vr arcade is the difference with going to see a movie and watching one at home.It’s good for vr anyway you out it.Still hope these experiences hit the home market too like the alien and terminator experiences.
