Shuttle Commander launch on PC VR platforms

 

VR Education Holdings plc (AIM: VRE; Euronext Growth: 6VR), a leading virtual reality ('VR') technology company in the education, communication and virtual events space, announces, further to the announcement of 24 September 2020, that the Group's showcase experience, Shuttle Commander, will be released on 30 November 2020 at 6pm CET for all PC based VR platforms including the popular Oculus Rift, Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality and HTC Vive devices.

 

Shuttle Commander allows users to take part in the Hubble space telescope missions first hand with accurate recreations of the space missions, landing missions and science missions of the world's most famous space telescope. Shuttle Commander is the natural follow up to the Group's popular Apollo 11 VR experience, which has generated just under €2.0 million of revenues to date and continues to sell, three years after its initial release. The Group anticipates that Shuttle Commander will appeal to a broader user base, as it is closer to a videogame with user interaction and gameplay, whereas Apollo 11 is a purely cinematic and passive experience.

David Whelan, CEO of VR Education, said: "We are delighted to announce the release on 30 November 2020 of Shuttle Commander for PC VR users as this is the definitive version of the educational game and something we hope will prove just as popular as our previous space title Apollo 11."

 

"Not only will it be fun to play for casual users, it also provides an accurate physics-based simulation of the universe for players to explore and a difficult Shuttle landing challenge which should bring players back again and again."

 

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
