March Milestones: Fresh Updates Inside

The first quarter of 2026 has come to an end, and we have a lot to be proud of. Following the tradition we started this year, we are ready to tell you what the past month was like and what it brought us.

What was new, what we want to brag about, and what useful things each of our current and potential partners will take away. But we have not forgotten about the guests who come to our arenas to play the best free-roam VR games.

Ready? Then let's begin.

The BATTLE START VR business map keeps growing. This month, we welcomed a franchisee in a brand new country, while our already familiar territories continue to open more arenas. That signals a clear market demand. People are hungry for immersive adventures.

🇪🇪 Estonia – Lasteaja is the very first VR arena from BATTLE START in this city and this country. We will document the renovation and launch process, so follow along to see how a venue comes together from the ground up.

🇺🇸 USA – Fillmore, California. A special thank you to our partners at The Cube, who recommended opening a VR club with our franchise. Word of mouth works.

🇮🇹 Italy – Torino. This will be the second VR club in this Italian city. It is under construction, so watch for updates.

🇮🇹 Italy – Another partner from Italy decided to join our ecosystem. Right now, they are evaluating the competition and searching for the perfect city where they can become the dominant player in VR entertainment.

🇨🇱 Chile – Our new partner is choosing the ideal city for their venue. We will announce the location once they decide.

🇳🇱 The Netherlands – Wasbeekerlaan will soon open an arena called Ultimate VR. We will let you know when you can visit.

Our partners' comfort comes first. The BATTLE START team will never stop improving our ecosystem, so you can keep delivering the best VR entertainment in your city.

Here is what we shipped in March:

1️⃣ Added locations – New maps from Party 1, Party 2, Magic Party, Tactics, and Battle are now adapted for the Mini Arena format.

2️⃣ Teleports for fans of fast movement – We know some partners still use teleport-based arenas. So we added teleport options to Jelly Volleyball and Dragon Tennis from the Magic Party game.

3️⃣ Obstacle rendering – For spaces 8.5×8.5 meters and up, you can now display columns in the Mini Arena playfield. The system marks them as energy walls or structures you cannot pass through.

4️⃣ Smarter interface – The name entry window now auto-closes after 60 seconds of inactivity. No more frozen screens.

5️⃣ Improved armory interface – The weapon selection window in Tactics: Arms Race mode, our VR shooter, now works better than ever.

6️⃣ Better view from the sidelines – Boss health bars are now shown on the spectator screen, making watching even more exciting.

7️⃣ Zombie mode enhancement – Columns now stand out more clearly. No more running through walls by accident.

8️⃣ Bug fixes – We resolved minor visual defects that sometimes appeared when launching Magic Party and Tactics.

9️⃣ New emblems – Fresh team designs are here. More choice, more personality, and a bigger sense of pride when your team takes the win.

As promised, our сontent library will grow by two new VR games this year: Agents and a family adventure that finally has a working title: Paw-Rangers. Both of them are in PvE mode.

Voice actors have started recording our script. Currently only in English, but we still have several months before release. We are doing this properly, without rushing.

Here is what we can show you right now.

This is where the adventure begins for the heroes that guests will play as, and where they will save the world from a sinister conspiracy.

Here is the game poster. Official images for partners will appear in our Discord channel, ready to use on social media. Based on the feedback we are receiving, interest in Agents is incredible. Everyone wants to become part of this spy thriller in VR.

Meet the agents themselves. You would be surprised at how much depth our game designers have put into each character. Quality is something our team is truly obsessive about.

Curious about the weapons? If you think you will be handling a standard shooter arsenal, we are here to convince you otherwise. We’ll try to show the range of options soon without spoiling the intrigue.

Progress on this cute, fun, and engaging family adventure is moving fast. Our game designers have locked in the maps where the action will take place. They also finally agreed (after many arguments) on which heroes made the cut.

Here are the winners of multiple rounds of selection. Each one is getting their own backstory and personality. Who do you think will be presented as the natural born leader?

And here is the mega villain. A Hamster whose evil plans could harm the universe. But only if the heroes fail to stop him. Special attention went into the villain's design. He is a genius, but still a hamster, so his exosuit is made makeshift. That actually makes him more interesting to look at.

That was our March: interesting, eventful, and continuing to push the BATTLE START ecosystem forward.

We will be back with new results in a month so you can track our progress and draw the only possible conclusion: if you are going to open a VR business, it should only be with the BATTLE START virtual reality franchise.
