ILM and Lucasfilm today revealed gameplay of their upcoming Quest 3 game, Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset, which offers up both virtual and mixed reality gameplay.

In partnership with Meta, the studios served up a first hands-on with the game to attendees at ‘Star Wars Celebration 2025’, taking place April 18-20 in Tokyo, Japan. Along with it comes a good slate of gameplay revealed its first teaser.

Still in development, the studios say Star Wars: Beyond Victory takes place around the time of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), further revealing the game will feature three distinct modes when it launches on Quest 3 and 3S.

This includes a VR/MR combination story mode following podracer ‘Volo’, an arcade mode that brings mini-podracing to a mixed reality holotable, and a ‘playset’ that lets you decorate physical environment in mixed reality with a collection of unlockable virtual action figures and vehicles.

“We’re calling this a Playset because it isn’t just a game; it’s an entirely new way to experience the Star Wars galaxy and the worlds we create at ILM,” said the game’s Executive Producer Alyssa Finley. “This new mixed reality experience blends the physical and digital worlds in a way that’s unlike anything we’ve done before and we’re so excited to share a special first look with our incredible Star Wars community.”

If you’re heading to the event at the Makuhari Messe in Tokyo starting this Friday, you can get a chance to go hands-on with Star Wars: Beyond Victory at the ILM and Meta Quest booth, located in Hall 4, Booth #20-5. Demo stations also include the studio’s previous XR titles Vader Immortal and Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge.

There’s no release date yet, although like all things VR created by ILM for the Star Wars universe, we’re expecting a slow drip of info leading up to launch, so stay tuned.
