""This experience isn't just a look back at ancient Rome-it's a chance to step inside its beating heart," said Antoine Lieutaud, founder and CEO of Eclipso Entertainment, in an official statement. "'Colosseum: The Legendary Arena' places visitors on a stage where power, ambition and sacrifice unfolded before an empire, allowing audiences to feel the energy of the crowd, the weight of a gladiator's choices and the grandeur of Rome itself-making history feel alive, emotional and unforgettable.""
"After a short onboarding, you'll put on a headset and physically move through a meticulously recreated version of ancient Rome-including markets, city streets and, finally, the Colosseum itself. Developed in collaboration with the Paris-based immersive studio Small Creative, the experience was created under the guidance of a scientific advisory committee led by the French School of Rome, so, while the whole ordeal may feel cinematic, it is actually rooted in history rather than fantasy."
A free-roaming virtual reality production at Eclipso NYC, titled 'Colosseum: The Legendary Arena,' immerses visitors in a reconstructed ancient Rome circa 2,000 years ago. Guests physically walk through markets, city streets and into the Colosseum after a short onboarding and headset fitting. The roughly 30-minute VR session (plus about 15 minutes of prep) presents daily Roman life and arena spectacles, including appearances by historical figures such as gladiator Flamma. The project was developed with Paris-based Small Creative and guided by a scientific advisory committee led by the French School of Rome. Archaeologists and historians reviewed scripts and narratives to ensure historical fidelity, producing an emotionally cinematic yet research-grounded experience.
