Zero Latency, a global leader in VR entertainment, has announced that the eagerly awaited Space Marine VR: Defenders of Avarax title will be released in October 2024. The new free-roam VR experience is set in the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine universe and will be available globally at Zero Latency’s 90+ venues.
Players take on the role of a Space Marine, a genetically enhanced super-soldier. They will dive deep into a vault while exploring Fervastium’s Hive City as part of a crucial mission that could change the course of history and aid in the defeat of the Tyranids, an all-consuming alien swarm from beyond the known galaxy.
As they take on the role of these extremely disciplined and unwavering warriors, players will repel hordes of Tyranids with various weapons from the Space Marine armoury.
An immersive adventure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe
“The Warhammer 40,000 universe and Space Marine in particular has such awesome lore and history, we just couldn’t wait to dive into it,” says Tim Ruse, CEO at Zero Latency.

We can’t wait for players to step into the Warhammer 40,000 setting and take on the Tyranids in this epic adventure.”
