Our take

The rise of cross-platform, multiplayer gaming, coupled with Virtual Reality’s entrance into the mainstream, makes this an extremely exciting time for gaming studios. And Ramen VR might be the most ambitious studio of all right now, with its intention to create open, interconnected, gaming worlds.

The 2019-founded company has enjoyed record breaking success since releasing its flagship title, Zenith: The Lost City, in early 2022. It became the best selling game on Steam, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest, and was the first cross-platform VR MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) available on all major gaming systems.

With the runaway success of Zenith and the steady release of updates (including an AI-powered voice moderator for Zenith's chatrooms, that weeds out racist and homophobic behavior), the company has since secured major investment. It intends to use this to expand its relatively small studio and continue attempting to realize its vision of creating an infinite gaming universe.
