Walkabout Mini Golf players around the world will be able to join the entourage of the King of Rock' n' Roll as a world of neon, sequins, and iconic scenes from Elvis Presley's lyrics come to life in an immersive, miniature golf adventure called "Viva Las Elvis" coming to virtual reality and iOS devices on Jan. 16. It's all thanks to a collaboration between Mighty Coconut, the independent entertainment studio behind some of the best-rated VR multiplayer game and Walkabout Mini Golf app, and Elvis Presley Enterprises. Bringing generations of fans together to play with Elvis' mojo, persona, and a highly stylized take on classic Las Vegas.
"For our 31st course, we're taking players to Vegas in a totally new way" says Lucas Martell, creator, Walkabout Mini Golf and head, Mighty Coconut. "The pop-culture aspect of Elvis' lyrics and films let us tap into classic Vegas vibes almost like a tribute stage show. Elvis Presley Enterprises has been an enthusiastic partner, as we not only imagined this fictional Elvis-themed Vegas, but also created custom Elvis avatar options so players can cosplay and impersonate the King himself."
The downloadable content (DLC) "Viva Las Elvis" course has 18 easy mode and 18 hard mode holes, specially designed lost balls to collect, a commemorative in-game Elvis putter, and themed costume elements all set in the fabulous world of Elvis' Las Vegas era. For the first time, this course has a score that features a band of live musicians performing a rousing tribute composition by Chris Reyman, highlighting the spirit of rock 'n' roll from the 1960s and 1970s.
The course will drop on Jan. 16 at 9 a.m. PST as an add-on to Walkabout Mini Golf on Meta Quest 2/Pro/3, PlayStation VR2, Steam and PICO platforms, as well as on compatible iPhones and iPads via Walkabout Mini Golf: Pocket Edition. The game is fully cross-playable meaning friends, family and colleagues can join multiplayer rounds.
