ABS-CBN introduces Hado Pilipinas, a team sport that merges the fun of dodgeball with augmented reality energy ball and shields.
Hado (which, in Nihonggo, means vibration or wave motion) is a brand of Augmented Reality games developed in Japan, but since has been adopted in countries like China, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Spain, Russia, United Kingdom, USA, and nowhere in Philippines – as ABS-CBN continues to bring unique Kapamilya experiences in fun, engaging, and interactive themed attractions and activities.
Up to six players can play Hado Player versus Player per game, with three players per team. Each player wears a Hado head-mounted display and a sidearm device. Filipinos can soon try out the game in the Hado Pilipinas Camp, opening in the last quarter of this year inside the ABS-CBN Compound.
Meanwhile, students from the universities and colleges in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) already got a taste of the thrilling new techno sport as “Hado Pilipina” currently goes around each school to introduce the sport.
The winning team at the ongoing Hado Pilipinas NCAA Collegiate Cup 2019 wins an all-expense-paid trip to Tokyo, Japan to represent the country at the Hado World Cup 2019 in December and have a chance to win ¥2 million.
