I can’t wait until the apple meat in New York

It is not customary to get news to break you via a video game in the eighties on your phone. But this wolf considers for you. In a small pixel game similar to the double Double Dragon game, gangs and police officers come. But if it succeeds, you will discover the actual message: Meow Wolf, the strange multimedia collection Makes art stadiums in the real worldIt expands to New York City. It is a strange way to present the message, but I am pleased – because I live in New Jersey and I hoped that Wolf will come to the east for years. But we all have to wait – perhaps until 2028, although Meow Wolf did not specify any specific opening date.

In addition to the feasibility of the previous sites of Meow Wolf, it seems that the South Street Seator site in New York will pay the lands that I am deeply: video games, mixed reality and technology layers that will mix virtual and materialism in ways that the technology companies have dreamed of them, but are still not recorded.

WolfIf you never practice one of the huge technical facilities mixed with games and interactive secrets. Imagine if sleeping no more and the escape room had Supernova and turned into a multi -dimensional delirium. Each Meow Wolf has a different topic, and all destinations have been present in the West so far: Las Vegas, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Los Angeles coming within a year or two. New York is the first east of meat wolf, and will be intended with technology.

“The main markets like Los Angeles and New York, and they were always on our radar; they have always been a dream for us,” said Li Vince Cadlobek, the founder of Wolf. New York will focus on video and corridors, apparently (among other things), including “Plotzo” story Sick in other wolf sites megaAnd he participates in strange arms. When I visited Meow Wolf’s Grapevine, Texas in 2023, it was a strange, strange archaeid room-with playable artistic games-one of my favorite places. Meow Wolf sites are not really anything specific – local artists are recruited in each site to mix different ideas together, so he expects a lot of unexpected – but if the games are a large part of this, then I am in it.

Plotzo was created as a timer for the early meal experiences of Meow Wolf, explained to me Benji Geary, co -founder of the artistic founder at Mewwl Wolf. But the New York Square will be the Plotzo headquarters, as “the place where Homeboy lives, such as HomeBoy or residing”, is called Plotzo “this crazy plague that is similar to spread all over the universe throughout these repetitions.”

It will also be a big experience – according to Kadlubek, the relative box shots will be at the level of the Convert station experiments in Las Vegas Omega Mart and Denver, which feels huge and miserable. The convergence station in Denver is 90,000 square feet: these are places full of mysteries for drilling and small secrets that are likely to miss the time (or fifth).

Mixed reality stadium?

Meow Wolf seems to use New York to pay what Kadlubek calls a real “mixed truth”, something the company plays in various forms for a period of time. Make a wolf VR Minigling Stadium experience The de facto applications have increased. But it seems that there is a different level of virtual to the realistic interior connection that appears to be installed when the New York website finally opens, perhaps in late 2027 or early 2028.

“The New York project will push the boundaries of technology and the connection of realism between the exhibition itself and experiences outside the walls of the exhibition-there is a connection that makes it to a large extent the most ambitious project that we tried,” says Cadlobeic. “The chances of creating a real real environmental system – we are now more when it comes to the potential of this, we have always dreamed of it.”

It is difficult to know exactly what this means, but according to Kadlubek, it can include 3D display technology, connecting phones connected to the onion, and certain spots in the exhibition, AR on phones or even VR.

Kadlubek indicates Magic League headquarters in 2018,, Space you also visited, as an early mark on how it could be a mixture of real and hypothetical. It ended with the Magic League vision of AR, but the Willy Wonka Mix is ​​similar to ideas and interaction. It seems like a field that inspires the team so far.

The team admits that these things are still a little jump for clouds. “I can now tell you that the things we aspire to do here in New York cannot be done today,” says Jose Tolosa, CEO of Mewwl Wolf, who is also a New York resident.

Video games, hemorrhage and phones in the mixture

The development of the New York project just starts, and the nature of how to develop Mew Wolf is emerging, using many local artists who help bend the spaces in the things they wear by the internal team. In this sense, it seems that it is still a mystery, even in the wolf meat.

Meow Wolf’s Phone, which already contains some strange things buried inside, will be a large part of it. “There are a lot of plans regarding how the application is in the center,” says Tolosa. “The connective tissue will be.” Meow Wolf has already explored the initial models based on the site using the application, and those that look like the deep parts of anything coming. Some of the MEOW WOLF places already use TAPPable cards to log in to screens hidden around the spaces.

Mawo Wolf can also participate in publishing his video games, something that has been hurt by a play -can to the New York Advertising, and it was recognized by CEO Tolosa and the founders Cadlobek and Terry. The wolf is already Share with VR Minigling The Mighty Coconut game developers seem to be an ideal match for exploration (the last gaming addiction, UFO 50He already feels like something that crawls from a wolf, and also does Panic).

However, video games that live in the physical space or even outside the physical space can push everything to the areas that remind us of ARGS (alternative reality games), a type of interactive game in the real world that extends across places and the media and often feels it is an alternative to reality – a type of type Wolf that already somewhat.

“The dominant way to tell stories at the present time is video games. Think about how to extend that to IRL, as you know, how video games look like if you transfer it from the sofa and stop the smartphone, and connect it again as well,” says Cadlobeck about the goal of the entire experience.

It is already a trend in entertainment: Super Nintendo World, which opens an extended version in Orlando A new epic world Later this spring, some of these ideas already explore with teams that can be worn and physical interaction with the environment. You can hit the blocks and do things. Disney Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge He also has some games connected to the phone. Disney hopes to succeed in the idea of ​​this live video games to experience the Star Wars Hotel that she is now carrying Known as Galactic Starcruiser.

Wolf M who’s suggestion may be more exotic and unleash in a curiosity. “We see them a kind of scratch on the surface. When you have a dedicated interior space, you have much more capabilities than you are in the external theme park. Jerry talks about me about his concerns with graphics patterns in Sega Dreamcast, or Katamari Damacy when you came out. There is already a lot of games around other WOLF sites, which are Very cultivated and strange.

I admired that the previous Meow Wolf sites were able to mix the overwhelming and interactive tasks, OPS, and cold areas, somehow seems to allow myself and every other person to go to their own level and not to feel interruption by others. But as much as the wolf wolf thoughts or mixed reality concepts that can dream of a world come out AR cups It is not possible to reach yet? This has happened in artistic experiences before, and I can’t wait to find out what is in New York.
