Catan is arguably one of the most critically acclaimed board games ever made and one that averages over a million copies sold per year. Tilt Five, a startup founded by a former Valve engineer, has just revealed a 3D holographic version of the game, named “Catan – Tilt Five AR”, arriving in the Spring of 2023.
The company is partnering with CATAN GmbH, CATAN Studio, Twin Sails Interactive, and Blazing Griffin on the new game. The Tilt Five AR system includes glasses, a retroreflective game board, and a wand controller. Players wearing the glasses will see the game in holographic form. Those who use the board will also be able to play remotely with others.
Jeri Ellsworth, Tilt Five CEO, stated: “Tilt Five was founded by gamers. 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 ones, with a solution that is comfortable, affordable, and easy to use.”
