PokerStars VR, the virtual reality arm of the world’s biggest poker site, has announced that it’s brand-new, immersive experience Spies goes live on November 28.
In PokerStars VR’s most intense challenge yet, the series of spy-themed virtual reality content will see poker players face-off in a super villain’s lair located inside an active volcano at the summit of a snow-capped mountain, with plenty of apparel, props, and gadgets to match. Players can interact with good and evil-themed items including exploding bubble gum, shoulder-mounted weaponry, and laser lipstick, all while trying to unravel the secrets of the lair itself.
“There are no limits to what we can do at PokerStars VR. It’s been a very exciting first year. Players have gone head-to-head in a wild-west saloon, a Monte-Carlo yacht, a futuristic Macau and now they can live their poker dream as a spy or super-villain, with jet-pack monkeys thrown in for good measure.”
Severin Rasset, Managing Director and Commercial Officer, Poker
The Spies mountain-top fortress will also be the setting for the next stop in the inaugural PokerStars Virtual Reality Poker Tour (VRPT) from November 29 to December 1.
