Saltwater Games launches Immersive Pilot Academy Experience via Unbound

Celeros, the new mixed-reality racing metaverse has launched a new Pilot Academy, built by Unbound in partnership with Saltwater Games.

The Academy will educate racing fans about the new Airspeeder Mk3, which players will be able to race within an immersive AAA gaming experience – AirspeederXR. Airspeeder is the first racing series to be launched in Celeros and the game will allow players to build and race their Airspeeders in a thrilling and competitive environment.

The Pilot Academy is the first of many Celeros Academy Programs and takes potential gamers on an immersive  journey through a ‘preflight checklist’. The experience educates players on what it takes to get ahead in the game as a pilot, and in the real world. They will be able to explore all facets of the vehicle to learn how components such as the Collision Avoidance System, kevlar and carbon fiber monocoque, 400KW motor, and 8 contra-rotating propellers of the vehicle can give them an edge against their competitors.

Says Chris Abbott, head of product, Saltwater Games: “The Celeros Academy marks the launch of our first experience for gamers and investors. This immersive experience will give players a chance to build and configure their own vehicles and see what it will take to compete in the first race tracks in Celeros. Our collaboration with Unbound was key to make sure we delivered to the high quality benchmark expected from a AAA game studio.”

Only on completing the Academy gamers are able to access the Celeros Hangar and earn their first digital asset, the Preflight Checklist Academy Badge. The first pilots to pass the Academy will get automatic access to the limited supply, with the Guaranteed Allow List for the Celeros Race Track Mint coming in June. There will be a secondary Waitlist for those who want to be part of this limited mint and a raffle for further Guaranteed Allow List spots.

Says Matt Pearson, CEO, Airspeeder: “It’s so exciting for gaming audiences to now see this cutting-edge technology used in the Airspeeder series. We’re on the verge of granting gaming audiences an unprecedented flying car racing adventure, where they’ll be immersed in the innovation that fuels our groundbreaking vehicles. I can’t wait to dive into the exhilarating realm of Celeros and race head-to-head with a new generation of fans.”

Celeros provides gamers with the opportunity to immerse themselves fully in the real-world mechanics of the world’s first motorsport series for electric flying cars. Players will have the opportunity to educate themselves through a game narrative that explores the mechanics that underpin the incredible world of flying motorsports.

The more time players spend in Celeros, the greater an opportunity they will have to not only rise through the ranks of our gaming community, but to potentially join the Pilot Academy and one day actually race a real vehicle themselves.
