Zero Latency reveals Asian expansion plans

Zero Latency reveals Asian expansion plans
December 7, 2017

Location-based virtual reality (VR) gaming leader, Zero Latency, has revealed plans to expand in with its first south east Asian facility and a new game in the works offering competitive gameplay.

The Melbourne-based company recently opened its first free-roam VR arena in Mexico, teaming with cinema chain Cinépolis for the new venture, which is inside the Cinépolis Plaza Satélite multiplex in Mexico City.

With 13 locations worldwide - in Australia, Singapore, Japan, Spain, the USA as well as Mexico - Zero Latency has big plans for 2018, with one major aspect being the development of its first competitive offering.

Zero Latency Chief Exectuive Tim Ruse explains “we’ve got a team of 26 people and growing who are dedicated to product development with engineering and content.

“We’ve got a new game in pre-production at the moment. It’s a shooter but with more of a competitive gameplay aspect. Everything we’ve worked on to date has been cooperative, so competitive gameplay is something new and exciting for us.”

Outlining plans to expand into four countries within south east Asia, Ruse added “there’s a big global opportunity here with free-roam VR and Zero Latency is leading that charge. We’ve put more than 200,000 players through our games that number grows as we put another 22,000 new players through every month worldwide.

“We’ve been building our technology for five years and our centres have been open to the public now for three. For us, 2018 and beyond is a great opportunity to keep expanding our global footprint into as many countries as possible.”
