Punchdrunk announce LANDER 23 in Woolwich from 17 September 2025.

A live action video game, LANDER 23 sees the immersive theatre pioneers collide with the world of gaming as never before, as audiences become players in a multiplayer stealth game.

With genuine agency and true video game mechanics, LANDER 23 promises to become the next generation of immersive experience.

A radical new format, this project runs full pelt into the wilds of unchartered territory and will undergo rigorous testing and iterating with live players.

To recognise the early access nature of the first weeks of performances all tickets have been priced at £23. From 7 October standard pricing will apply.

The Lander Division of the Centre for Astrobiology is responsible for exploring the outer realms of the galaxy. No division goes further or deeper into the unknown.

A week ago, the crew of LANDER 23 vanished while harvesting a new and valuable energy source on Hisarlik 426. A distress signal, then silence.

LANDER 23 is a multiplayer co-op stealth game that splits you into two squads – Command (Drivers) and Ground Team (Fields). As the Fields navigate the alien landscape, you’ll rely solely on the voice and guidance of your Drivers, stationed aboard the ship. Communication is your lifeline.

LANDER 23 will be a genuine live video game with integrated technology that brings video game mechanics to life. All the tropes that players know and love – maps guiding you to your goal, lives that can be lost and regenerated – will exist in LANDER 23.

In the spirit of sustainability and accountability the company will be repurposing the extraordinary world of Troy from the Burnt City – reimagined for a new narrative.

All players must wear provided audio equipment to participate.
