PVKK: We Played it With a Real-Life Cannon Cockpit! | gamescom 2025

We got to operate a real-life PVKK cannon cockpit, and it was amazing! This immersive controller let's you toggle tactile switches, adjust mechanical dials and dutifully line up the trajectory of the in-game cannon to take on the invading interplanetary forces. Papers, Please-like conflicts of interest mixed with Steel Battalion-esque button pushing? It's a stressful cocktail, playable in the form of PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant! You take control of a planetary defense cannon for an autocratic regime, complete with tactile button pressing, and sweat-inducing defense systems, all designed to protect your world from interplanetary invasion.
