Our take
Virtual reality is fundamentally changing the way we work, the entertainment we consume, and more. nDreams is at the forefront of the charge, leading the pack when it comes to the world of virtual reality gaming.
The gaming studios set out to change the way we game, with immersive adventures - both original and working with the IP of other gaming and film studios. One of its most recent games, Phantom: Covert Ops, has won multiple awards; and partnerships with Sony for a Ghostbusters VR game, as well as with Ubisoft for a Far Cry VR game (set in the world of Far Cry 3) speak to the calibre of content they produce.
nDreams looks set to maintain its dominance in the VR space, tipped as the company with the most games in development for PSVR 2. Swedish game developer Aonic acquired nDreams for $110 million, which will bolster both companies' positions in the exciting and rapidly growing VR gaming market.
