It won’t be long and Sydney will have its own Fortress venue at Central Park Mall on Broadway, Chippendale. Dubbed as the one of the largest leisure venues in the Southern Hemisphere, the new video games centre is set to open this summer.
Following the success of its predecessor in Melbourne, which opened two years ago, the Sydney location will be a licensed venue set on a 3,000sqm complex with 1,000-person capacity across two levels. Fortress CEO and Co-Founder Jon Satterley said that Fortress Sydney will feature the best that its predecessor has and a host of other attractions.
“Melbourne was our first – you might call it a prototype. Fortress Sydney will be the jewel in our crown. It will be an awe-inspiring new ‘home of games’ – the epitome of everything we have worked towards. The ultimate statement in live games culture entertainment,” Fortress CEO and Co-Founder Jon Satterley said
Mr Satterley said that the Sydney expansion will have a fantasy-themed Tavern, based on Fortress’s unique character lore, an incredible competitive and esports games arena with a mezzanine/VIP level. The new gaming centre will also have its own sci-fi inspired bar apart from arcades, PC gaming zone (equipped with the highest spec Alienware rigs) and private party booths plus “amazing food and drinks brought to your table.”
Fortress Sydney is just the first of planned expansions across Australia including Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth among their options but Fortress is not ruling out opportunities for overseas expansion as well.
“Our Sydney friends and fans of Fortress have been begging us to bring the Flagship experience to their beautiful city. Well, here we come!”.
