Pixoul Gaming will include five zones in one place and manage the first-ever Esports Academy in the Middle East.
Putting Abu Dhabi on the international Esports map, a state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) and Esports hub will open at Al Qana later this year.
With its array of VR, retro, console, mobile, and Esports games, Pixoul Gaming will not only have the best facilities in the region but will also cater to the entire gaming ecosystem – from game development and education to thrilling immersive experiences.
Virtual Reality Gaming
As the flagship experience, the Pixoul Planet VR houses ten different virtual and augmented reality games, including everything from shooters, and virtual roller coasters, to guided spaceship tours of the new intergalactic planet, Pixoul. Available in both story and arcade mode, the multi-sensory game is built on preserving the future city, Pixoul Planet, which is under attack.
Esports Academy
Empowering the future Esports champions of the world, Pixoul Gaming looks to foster an elite community, launching the first-ever Esports Academy in the Middle East. The Academy will have special classrooms where local and international coaches can train individuals and teams. In addition, for the first time in the region, Pixoul Gaming will invite international gaming champions to give lucky users one-on-one training and teach them their winning secrets.
Pixoul Gaming will also host global gaming tournaments in its 800-seat capacity arena to become a beacon for mega competitions. Equipped with a 78m2 LED screen and supporting sound and lighting system, The Arena will serve as an enticing attraction for regional and international sponsors, positioning Abu Dhabi as a regional hub for Esports. In addition, exclusive viewing facilities will include a VIP Lounge.
Esports Bar Console and Retro Gaming
The Academy also includes an Esports bar, a gaming community twist on a typical sports bar, where global gaming events can be viewed while enjoying F&B.
Here, Pixoul Gaming has created the perfect chill zone for those looking to relax with friends with comfy bean bags, big screens, and your choice of console gaming. Capable of hosting all types of games, including Fortnite, Pokemon, and Minecraft, gamers can play their favourite games on advanced devices in a great environment.
For those who enjoyed the first gaming iteration, the Retro Gaming Zone will be a nostalgia-themed area packed with arcade machines featuring classic and old-school gaming such as Pac-Man and Space Invaders. Built for everyone, these single and multi-player games offer a comforting yet simple and joyous experience that’s tough to replicate.
Esports is one of the fastest-growing industries in the MENA region. The UAE’s digital gaming sector is estimated to reach US$930 million by 2025, and Pixoul Gaming will highlight Abu Dhabi as the global leader in Esport.
