Today, leading VR company Eclipso announces its newest and boldest immersive experience to date – Colosseum: The Legendary Arena, giving you a front row seat to history’s most enticing show, opening October 24th. Following the success of Titanic: Echoes of the Past, Eclipso – known for their VR experiences in New York, Paris, and across the world – returns with a thrilling production that recreates the grandeur and glory of ancient Rome.
The experience will transport visitors to the very centre of the action, combining the latest in VR technology with a gripping story of adventure.
In Colosseum, The Legendary Arena, the story begins in the bustling heart of ancient Rome. Through the eyes of Caius, guests will be guided through bustling markets and beyond the city’s walls to the looming Colosseum, presenting an opportunity for eternal glory. There, they will meet Flamma, a gladiator who will defy the promise of freedom for a chance at greatness.
This journey is more than a glimpse into history, it’s a plunge into the emotion, grandeur and decadence of an empire that resonates in our minds today. Audiences will encounter Gods and citizens alike, experience life as a true citizen of Rome, and feel the intensity of a world where life and legends collide.
Perfect for history connoisseurs, families, and culture-seekers, Colosseum: The Legendary Arena transforms history into a living spectacle – one that offers an inspiring, interactive adventure inside the world’s most remembered empire.
Created in collaboration with the award-winning Small Creative studio, this 45-minute experience uses cutting-edge VR technology to deliver a historically authentic recreation of the era of the Roman Empire at scale. By combining art, culture, and history with immersive storytelling, it offers a breathtaking and unforgettable journey for all ages.
Founder and CEO Antoine Lieutaud says: “This experience isn’t just a look back at ancient Rome – it’s a chance to step inside its beating heart. Eclipso’s Colosseum: The Legendary Arena is more than a battleground; it takes visitors on a stage where power, ambition, and sacrifice played out before the eyes of an empire. With this experience, we’ve brought that world to life in a way that lets people feel the energy of the crowds, the weight of a gladiator’s choice, and the grandeur of Rome itself. It’s an invitation to experience history not as something distant, but as something alive, emotional, and unforgettable.”
