San Francisco, April 17, 2025 – Industrial Light & Magic and Lucasfilm today revealed more details on their upcoming virtual and mixed reality experience, Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset. Currently in development for Meta Quest headsets, fans at Star Wars Celebration 2025 can get a special hands-on first look at this upcoming title at the ILM and Meta Quest activation.
“Star Wars Celebration has always been a place where fandom meets passion and we wanted to bring something to the show this year that our team is over the moon about,” said Alyssa Finley, Executive Producer of Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset. “We’re calling this a Playset because it isn’t just a game; it’s an entirely new way to experience the Star Wars galaxy and the worlds we create at ILM. This new mixed reality experience blends the physical and digital worlds in a way that’s unlike anything we’ve done before and we’re so excited to share a special first look with our incredible Star Wars community.”
Still in development, Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset takes place around the time of Solo: A Star Wars Story and offers three distinct modes for fans to enjoy:
-
Adventure: Using a combination of virtual and mixed reality, the story follows Volo – an aspiring podracer whose life gets flipped upside down under the mentorship of the infamous Sebulba.
-
Arcade: Experience the thrill of podracing in mixed reality on a virtual holotable that brings players right into the heart of the action like never before.
-
Playset: Transform the physical world around you and create your very own incredible Star Wars moments in mixed reality with a collection of unlockable virtual action figures and vehicles.
The ILM and Meta Quest activation features over a dozen playable Quest stations equipped with the first ever hands-on look at Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset. This first look experience offers a glimpse into the tale of Volo, an up-and-coming podracer, leading into a thrilling top-down Arcade podrace that plays out on a virtual holotable. Additionally, demos for award-winning titles Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series and Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge are available for those in attendance at the fan convention.
Star Wars Celebration 2025 is taking place April 18 – 20 at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Japan. The ILM and Meta Quest activation is located at Hall 4, Booth #20-5.
