YC�s latest VR bet is a team building a cyberpunk anime MMO

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
of bets
The founders are really aiming to give VR geeks the game that they want, one that taps into the 80s futuristic aesthetic with gameplay that
pays tribute to popular sci-fi books, movies and games of the era.MMOs are attracting quite a bit of inbound interest in the venture-backed
startup world
Part of the reasoning has been because of people seeing the scope a title like Fortnite was able to achieve so quickly after going virall;
the other part is the prevalence of developer tools that gaming startups are able to easily plug into their tech stacks
interest for Zenith; they launched a week ago and have raised $132,000 in the crowdfunding campaign thus far
Backers get access to a VR version of the title as well as a desktop PC copy
ahead of them, but the current plan is to launch an Alpha in six months, a beta in nine months and to go live broadly a year from now.
