For the Emperor. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine VR — Defenders of Avarax is part of the Premium VR lineup at Grid City, and it's exactly as big as you hope.
The largest arenas Zero Latency has ever built
Built with Games Workshop and exclusive to the Zero Latency network, Defenders of Avarax drops your squad onto the war-ravaged planet of Avarax and into the hive city of Fervastium to hold the line against endless Tyranid swarms. Cathedral-scale environments, colossal alien megastructures, and wave after wave of hostiles — it's set in the biggest free-roam world Zero Latency has ever shipped.
How it plays
This is free-roam VR: no cables, no treadmills, no seated rigs. You and your squadmates walk a real arena with full-body tracking, calling targets and covering lanes like an actual fire team of Adeptus Astartes Space Marines. You become an eight-foot supersoldier — and you feel every inch of it.
- Squad size: 2–6 players
- Session: about 30 minutes in-headset
- Ages: 13+
- Difficulty: two modes — pick your pain
Normal or Hardcore?
Normal is action-packed fun anyone can pick up — generous ammo, forgiving swarms, pure spectacle. Hardcore is for squads who want a real test: manual reloads, friendly fire, and relentless enemies that punish sloppy lane discipline. Run Normal first, then come back for the real thing.
Now live: Threat: Lethal — the hardest Warhammer mode on the floor
Cleared Avarax? The universe answered. Threat: Lethal is the squad-survival mode built on Defenders of Avarax that turns the difficulty itself into the boss: relentless Tyranid waves, revives for downed squadmates, friendly fire, and new crowd-control weaponry like the Plasma Incinerator and Pyreblaster. If the whole squad drops, the level resets and you go again. Rated Extreme for a reason.
Do you need to know Warhammer?
Not at all. Fans of the 41st millennium will catch every detail — the Chapter iconography, the Tyranid bio-forms, the gothic scale — but the action stands entirely on its own. If you can point and shout "left flank!", you're qualified.
