Contact Entertainment have announced they are closing their doors after 8 years as a studio.
The company made the following statement:
After almost eight years of working with the most amazing team I’ve ever have the pleasure of being part of, I’m sad to announce that we will be closing our company First Contact Entertainment by the end of the year. The lack of support for virtual reality within the industry has eventually taken its toll. As a AAA virtual reality game developer, we are just not able to justify the expense needed gouging forward. We are a team of fearless innovators willing to push new technologies to its limits. I am extremely proud of the team and grateful to our investors, our partners, and of course our community of dedicated and passionate players. It’s been a wild ride. Thank you!
Contact Entertainment are best known for developing a virtual reality game Firewall and had been in development of Solaris: Offworld Combat II.
