Jon says “Nick and I just hit it off from our first meet, we both share the vision of redefining the square based dungeon experience, and we have a clear idea of what we want to achieve. It’s exciting times for us and VR. With Nick’s expertise in design and storytelling, we look forward to further developing the game and the world of Crystal Rift.”
Nick comments “I was impressed with the experience of Crystal Rift and what Jon had achieved with it. The game, as I saw it was both fun and also extremely suitable for and comfortable in VR. I felt the potential for the game was awesome and saw a way that I could offer a lot to the game.”

Preorders are expected to be made available in late 2014, including Beta Test process with early adopter availability. A full release of the game is planned for Summer 2015.
