Back in October we brought you a trailer for Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, a hyper-reality experience from Lucasfilm, ILMxLAB, and THE VOID which is set to make an appearance at Disneyland and Disney World over the holiday season, and now we have word that UK fans will also be able to enjoy the experience in London beginning this December.
The ground-breaking immersive experience will open to the public at The Atrium, Westfield London (Shepherd’s Bush) from 16th December for 12 weeks, giving Star Wars fans the opportunity to step beyond reality and into a galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire will transport guests deep into the beloved Star Wars universe allowing them to walk freely and untethered in real-time hyper-reality that combines interactive sets, real-time effects and innovative technology. Under the orders of the budding rebellion, teams of four will travel to the molten planet of Mustafar. Their mission is to recover Imperial intelligence vital to the Rebellion’s survival. Alongside the pragmatic droid K-2S0, teams must navigate through an enemy facility walking into danger at every turn. Disguised as stormtroopers, with blasters in hands, they’ll solve puzzles, and fight giant lava monsters in an effort to fulfill their team’s orders.
“Hyper-reality experiences allow us all to fully immerse ourselves within worlds that were beyond our reach until now, said Cliff Plumer, CEO at The VOID. ” The power of The VOID will allow guests to step into Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire and not only see this spectacular world, but also hear, feel, touch and even smell as they realize they are a part of this incredible story”.
Anna Hill, Chief Marketing Officer, Disney UK & Ireland, added: “Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire will bring much-loved characters and stories, and the sheer exhilaration of Star Wars to life for UK audiences in a spectacular and immersive way, and we can’t wait to have people experience it at Westfield London”.
Tickets are available now at www.thevoid.com/london for £32.50 per person.
