June Achievements: Monthly Highlights from BATTLE START
The first month of summer has turned out to be arguably the most productive stretch of 2026 for BATTLE START. We've rounded up all the key milestones and updates from the past month into one handy article.
Strengthening Old Partnerships and Forging New Ones
At the same time, our partner network has grown with exciting new additions from:
🇮🇹 Italy – Foggia 🇵🇹 Portugal – Pinhal Novo 🇪🇪 Estonia – Tallinn 🇦🇷 Argentina – Perico, Jujuy 🇵🇹 Portugal – Lisbon 🇨🇳 China – Fuzhou
As you may have noticed, June brought a surge of activity from a market that's traditionally tough for European companies to crack — China. And we couldn't be happier about it. There's no doubt that our participation in the IAAPA Expo Asia gave this expansion a serious boost.
Speaking of the Expo… We Went to Hong Kong!
One of the biggest events in the global attractions industry has come and gone, and our team made sure to leave a mark. We arrived with one goal: to grab attention and stand out among a sea of exhibitors. And when it came to free-roam VR experiences, there simply wasn't any real competition.
So, what else made IAAPA Expo Asia unforgettable for us?
We:
✔️ got hands-on with every modern physical attraction format on the show floor ✔️ tested what's currently out there ✔️ figured out which setups are worth recommending for large-scale VR parks
Check out our key takeaways, enjoy the stunning views of Hong Kong, and soak up the atmosphere!
The Trailer Everyone Was Waiting For
The trailer for our next-gen VR shooter, Agents: Synthesis, has finally arrived.
Just one month to go until this mind-blowing VR blockbuster hits the stage! After nearly a year of development, the BATTLE START team is ready to give you a first proper look at our newest title.
A dark, tense atmosphere. A creeping sense of danger. Unexpected enemies. And an urge to jump into action and defend humanity from the very first second.
That's exactly how everyone who joined our playtests — and everyone who's watched the trailer — described their experience.
It's a world where food, medicine, and even prosthetics are no longer a problem. Technology was supposed to make life better — and it did, pushing humanity to incredible heights. But then, something no one saw coming happened. Project Synthesis spiraled out of control, dragging people into a desperate war for survival.
General Crow, Dr. Charkin, and elite special agents whose names are known only to a select few. They must uncover a deadly conspiracy and destroy a new weapon that could rewrite history forever.
Will this world get another chance? Perhaps yes. Perhaps not. The answer will depend on every choice made by the resistance squad.
A spoiler for the most observant: the world of Agents is built for explorers. You can follow the instructions strictly and blast through missions at full speed.Or you can slow down and examine your surroundings. Our developers have scattered hidden clues everywhere — just waiting for you to find them. The information you uncover will help you better understand the game's universe and reveal the weaknesses of your enemies. Armed with that knowledge, you'll fight far more effectively.
Paw-Rangers: Still Crafting the Cutest Family Adventure in VR
No major updates on the Paw-Rangers universe today. As you can probably guess, almost all of our team's firepower has been focused on the Agents. With an August release looming, free time is in short supply.
That said, we do have one thing to share.
If you thought this space saga was aimed exclusively at kids — think again! Feast your eyes on the weaponry you'll be using frequently throughout the levels. We'll be liberating the worlds of adorable fluffy creatures and taking on the evil hamster — blasters in hand!
Big Decisions and Bold Ideas for the Future
June was also a month of major strategic decisions and some truly productive brainstorming sessions.
As soon as work on Agents is fully wrapped up, we'll be simultaneously moving forward on several fronts:
1️⃣ Tactics — our incredibly popular VR shooter — will be expanding with new battle maps. We're planning to roll out the first additions as early as this autumn.
2️⃣ Release 2.0 is on the horizon, bringing new features for both VR arena owners and players:
✔️ All existing free-roam VR games from BATTLE START will be adapted for left-handed players ✔️ Arena owners will be able to create custom playlists from levels, maps, and game segments ✔️ Players in wheelchairs will get more comfortable controls — no more restrictions!
