Global Phenomenon Tabletop Game Arrives on AR Gaming System For Spring 2023
Santa Clara, Calif. – August 23, 2022 --Tilt Five, Inc., an Augmented Reality (AR) entertainment company, in partnership with CATAN GmbH, CATAN Studio, Twin Sails Interactive, and Blazing Griffin is pleased to announce the beloved CATAN® game will be reimagined as tabletop holograms on the Tilt Five™ AR gaming system. CATAN - Tilt Five AR is set to release Spring 2023.
Since its debut in 1995, CATAN (formerly The Settlers of Catan) has captured the hearts of an estimated 100+ million players across the globe. One of the best-selling board games in the world, CATAN has won many awards, including Game of the Year. Proclaimed as “the board game of our time” in the Washington Post, CATAN is an enduring brand for a new generation of gamers.
The Tilt Five version will offer players an exciting way to immerse themselves in the captivating world of CATAN–watch the island come to 3D holographic life while keeping an eye on your fellow players around the table!
The Tilt Five™ system was developed with gamers and tabletop enthusiasts in mind and invites players to level up game night with the magic of immersive 3D technology. Using proprietary AR glasses, a retroreflective gameboard, and a wand motion controller, Tilt Five players can explore holographic worlds with their family and friends together at home or online.
Like the Catanians carving out a new home on the island, Tilt Five is developing a new and wild way to experience exploration, building, and diplomacy. Players can enjoy this immersive version of CATAN together around the table, remotely with other players around the world, or solo against classic AI opponents. Interact with the Catan island in new ways using the Tilt Five™ Wand and watch the island’s wildlife and environment spring to life in holographic 3D.
"Tilt Five was founded by gamers," says Jeri Ellsworth, Tilt Five's CEO. "Our passion has been to bring the next evolution of gaming technology to fans of digital and physical games around the world. The magic of Tilt Five's technology is that it allows virtual worlds to co-exist alongside our physical one, with a solution that is comfortable, affordable, and easy to use."
“We are always looking for new and unique ways to expand the world of CATAN and engage our dedicated community,” says Arnd Beenen, COO, CATAN GmbH. “We’re excited that the Tilt Five system allows players an increased level of immersion where they can explore the rich environments and stories that CATAN is known for.”
