30 playable experiences at OC3!

Get a first look at cutting-edge immersive content and experience the magic of hand presence. You can book your demo experience using the OC3 app.

One of the new titles we’re most excited for is Landfall from Force Field VR. This immersive tactical action game takes advantage of the “diorama” effect made possible in VR, placing you just above the battle with a panoramic third-person view. When the gameplay calls for more precision, jump to a first-person POV to provide cover for your team.

Landfall debuts at OC3 and will be playable for the first time at the show!

This is going to be a great Connect—see you on the show floor!
