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.
