Virtual reality (VR) offers exciting possibilities when it comes to immersive gaming, with developers both large and small experimenting with the possibilities. The latest is ForeVR, an indie studio which has recently emerged from stealth having raised $1.5 million USD, currently working on a VR bowling title.
First reported by VentureBeat, the team at ForeVR is helmed by Zynga veterans Marcus Segal (CEO & Co-Founder) and Mike Pagano Doom (CCO and Co-Founder). With VR becoming more accessible and affordable thanks to headsets like Oculus Quest 2, they want to take popular, classic real-life group games and bring them into VR for friends and family to enjoy together.
A pair of Zynga veterans have launched a new VR game studio in California, called ForeVR.
Marcus Segal and Mike Pagano Doom will lead the new company, which is focused on developing mass-market virtual reality gaming experiences for all ages and geographies.
ForeVR also already employs a number of other former senior leaders from companies such as EA, Zynga, Disney, and Glu.
The team is currently developing its first game, planned for release in 2021 for Oculus headsets.
ForeVR already has a number of seed funding partners in Galaxy Interactive Fund, Presence Capital, as well as Twitch co-founders Emmett Shear and Justin Kan, and Zynga founders Mark Pincus and Justin Waldron.
