Virtuix Releases “Blackbeard: The Trials of Skull Island”

Virtuix, developer of the Omni virtual reality treadmill and Omni Arena, has unveiled “Blackbeard: The Trials of Skull Island,” its latest game for the Omni Arena VR attraction.

The game can be played by up to four people, who will be challenged to take on the role of pirates and work as a team to find treasure and fight enemies as they battle for the top spot on the leaderboard.

Players will go through four separate rounds during the game, including a puzzle challenge where they must work together and a final showdown with the boss. This variety encourages a high level of repeat play.

“Blackbeard is Omni Arena’s most kid-friendly game to date. It’s also a blast for adults and esports players. We designed the game for high repeat play. It’s easy for everyone to play, but thanks to its variety and depth, it’s hard to master. No two rounds are ever the same,” Jan Goetgeluk, founder and CEO of Virtuix, said.

The new game will be a part of Virtuix’s weekly and monthly esports tournaments for the Omni Arena. Teams who reach the top of the world leaderboard will win cash prizes from the $100,000 prize pool, sponsored by Virtuix and HP.
