Airspeeder and Celeros Team Up for Next-Level eSports Racing

The world’s first crewed rac­ing eVTOL series, Air­speed­er, has entered Celeros – a new mixed-real­i­ty AAA rac­ing game with an inno­v­a­tive in-game econ­o­my that sup­ports real-world social and envi­ron­men­tal impact projects.

Devel­oped by the cre­ators of Gran Tur­is­mo, WipE­out, and Need for Speed, Celeros promis­es a dynam­ic and authen­tic rac­ing expe­ri­ence, through which it brings the world of Air­speed­er rac­ing to gamers world­wide in part­ner­ship with Salt­wa­ter Games.

In the Air­speed­erXR game with­in Celeros, play­ers can earn dig­i­tal assets to invest in real-world caus­es, deliv­er­ing sus­tain­able impact through a bal­anced eco­nom­ic mod­el that relies on invest­ments in social and envi­ron­men­tal caus­es.

By enrolling in the Celeros Acad­e­my, gamers learn more about con­fig­ur­ing Air­speed­er, includ­ing under­stand­ing the col­li­sion avoid­ance sys­tems, motors, bat­ter­ies, and pro­pellers need­ed to enhance rac­ing per­for­mance. Celeros is a home for rac­ing and a path­way for real-world pilots.

Salt­wa­ter Games CEO Len Find­lay remarked: “We are ded­i­cat­ed to cre­at­ing a world-lead­ing gam­ing expe­ri­ence that com­bines mod­ern and future motor­sport with an inno­v­a­tive game econ­o­my that sup­ports real-world envi­ron­men­tal projects.

“We are using the lat­est tech­nol­o­gy to build a com­mu­ni­ty where gamers can come togeth­er to race and learn, all while mak­ing a pos­i­tive impact on our plan­et. With Celeros, play­ers will be able to enjoy the excite­ment of com­pet­i­tive mixed-real­i­ty rac­ing while also engag­ing in Play2Impact, a ground­break­ing ini­tia­tive that allows gamers and part­ners alike to make a real dif­fer­ence in the lives of mil­lions of peo­ple.”

Air­speed­er CEO Matt Pear­son added: “Celeros will push the enve­lope of what is achiev­able when gamers come togeth­er, rev­o­lu­tion­s­ing impact through game­play. The first doors into the world of Celeros are now open and we are invit­ing peo­ple to take part in a new pilot acad­e­my to learn more about the Air­speed­erXR Race Series and the vehi­cles they will be able to fly.”

Fol­low­ing last week’s broad­cast deal with DAZN, the cre­ation of an Esports and Gam­ing side to Air­speed­er strength­ens a new gen­er­a­tion of gamers to become Air­speed­er Pilots and for the world to expe­ri­ence Fly­ing Car Rac­ing.
