Relja ovic, engineering director of VR AR at , has announced that the company has acquired Owlchemy bs, the studio responsible for award-winning titles such as b Simulator Morty: Virtual -ality. However, Owlchemy says it is “free to pursue raw creation sprint toward interesting problems,” despite its new owners. Of note, neither game is available on Daydream requires an HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, or ayStation VR to run. On its own blog, Owlchemy says it will “continue building high quality VR content for platforms like the HTC Vive, Oculus Touch, ayStation VR,” but makes no specific mention of Daydream. In a statement to The Verge, however, ovic praised the Daydream headset, while adding “there will be many, many things that come after that.” has slowly been exping the Daydream library since its release last year, but it’s still quite small. Most recently, Virtual Rabbids Beartopia VR were announced, but neither has been released yet. Daydreaming about the future: th I/O just around the corner, there are certainly some interesting possibilities here. Daydream hasn’t exactly taken off like it seemed it would, but an Owlchemy-exclusive title would certainly boost interest, as would a more powerful device like the Rift or the Vive. I/O has been a launchpad for many of ’s VR efforts, including Cardboard Daydream, so it’s quite possible that we get a glimpse at the future of the platform.
