Pixelity, developer of an upcoming virtual reality game trilogy based on the classic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, will host playtests later this month for fans looking to experience the series in a new way. The focus group tests, set to take place in Japan from December 19 to 21 and California on the same day, offer enthusiasts the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Evangelion.
The playtests, which are now open for registration, will be held at two separate locations, with an equal number of participants welcomed at each venue. Interested individuals can apply online today through Pixelity's X account.
The upcoming game trilogy, titled Evangelion: Cross Reflections, is expected to release in 2026 and will follow the original anime's timeline. The first installment will focus on episodes 1 to 11, offering fans a chance to experience key moments from the series. Although platform details have yet to be confirmed, Meta Quest headsets are seen as a likely candidate for the game's debut.
For those eager to dive into the world of Evangelion in a new way, these playtests offer an exclusive opportunity to provide feedback and shape the gaming experience before its official release.

... but at the same time, I'm also low-key skeptical about how well they can replicate the original anime's atmosphere and emotional depth in a virtual reality setting. I mean, it's not easy to capture the complexity of the series' themes and characters in a medium that's still pretty new.
...
. anywayz, i'm all about trying out these playtests since we all know how intense nge can get... 
just imagine being a pro at piloting that mecha and saving the world 
. but for real tho, who's gonna make it through the whole trilogy without losing their marbles? 
. The idea of experiencing key moments from the series in a fully immersive environment is just incredible. I think it's interesting that they're leaving platform details unconfirmed, it could be either Meta Quest or something entirely new, maybe even an Oculus VR system. Either way, I'm hyped to see how this game trilogy is going to reflect on the original anime series. The playtests offer a fantastic chance for fans to provide feedback and influence the gaming experience before its release, it's almost like getting to be part of the development process 
can't wait to dive into the world of Evangelion and see how Pixelity brings it to life in a whole new way 
I'm not sure why they're having separate locations for the playtest... it just feels like a hassle to have to register twice 
. And can we talk about how Meta Quest headsets are going to be used in this game? I mean, aren't those things super expensive already? 
It's just a bit too much for me to get hyped about the playtest if I'm worried about breaking the bank 
Also, what's up with not confirming platform details yet? It feels like they're trying to build hype without giving us any real info
