ARVORE

What ARVORE does

ARVORE is a privately-held immersive storytelling and games studio that creates, designs, produces, and develops interactive VR/XR experiences. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, with the legal entity ARVORE Immersive Games INC. incorporated in the United States, the studio operates a remote-first model with team presence in five countries (United States, Canada, Brazil, Portugal, Netherlands). ARVORE's catalog spans standalone VR titles across multiple genres — narrative adventure (The Line, 2020 Primetime Emmy winner; Pixel Ripped 1989/1995/1978), action roguelike (YUKI Space Ranger), multiplayer sports (Clawball), stealth-action licensed IP (The Boys: Trigger Warning, launched March 26, 2026 at $29.99 with Sony Pictures Virtual Reality as publisher), and an AI-driven RPG (Fabula Rasa: Dead Man Talking, debuted March 2026 at SXSW). The studio's core technology is spatial-computing-native VR development using real-time 3D engines and, in Fabula Rasa, integration of Claude and ChatGPT large language models with ElevenLabs voice synthesis to power autonomous, context-aware NPC dialogue refined over a year of fine-tuning and improv-comedy-grounded prompt design.

The studio earns revenue through three streams: (1) one-time paid sales of VR titles on Meta Quest, PSVR2, and Steam; (2) licensed-IP co-development and publishing-revenue-share arrangements, notably with Sony Pictures Virtual Reality for The Boys: Trigger Warning; and (3) work-for-hire co-development of branded worlds inside Meta Horizon Worlds for partners including Universal (Universal Monsters Arena), Blumhouse (Horrorverse), and The Office IP. ARVORE serves two principal customer segments: VR consumers purchasing premium narrative and gameplay titles across major storefronts, and Hollywood IP holders seeking a proven XR-native development partner capable of translating major media franchises into playable VR experiences. Distribution is anchored in Meta's VR Games Showcase presence, PlayStation and Steam storefronts, festival visibility (SXSW, Filmgate Interactive, Venice, Tribeca, Raindance, SIGGRAPH), and earned media across GamesBeat, Variety, IGN, Mashable, and UploadVR, with press relations handled by Zebra Partners.

Core offering

ARVORE is a games studio that creates, designs, produces, and develops immersive VR/XR games and interactive experiences distributed through Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and Steam storefronts, plus branded worlds operated inside Meta Horizon Worlds. Its portfolio spans narrative experiences (The Line, Pixel Ripped series, Fabula Rasa), action and multiplayer titles (The Boys: Trigger Warning, Clawball, YUKI Space Ranger), and licensed-IP co-development work for studios such as Sony Pictures Virtual Reality, Blumhouse, and Universal.

Product overview

ARVORE is a single-studio, portfolio-style VR games business — there is no separate SaaS platform; instead, ARVORE publishes a catalog of distinct immersive titles that share its in-house VR/spatial-computing technology stack. The flagship currently is The Boys: Trigger Warning (a stealth-action VR title based on Amazon's IP), paired with the AI-driven experimental title Fabula Rasa: Dead Man Talking. The studio's catalog of VR narrative and gameplay titles also includes the award-winning The Line (2020 Emmy winner), the multi-installment Pixel Ripped series (1995, 1989, 1978), the anime roguelike YUKI Space Ranger, and the multiplayer VR sports title Clawball. Alongside these standalone games, ARVORE builds and operates multiple worlds and mini-games inside Meta Horizon Worlds (e.g., Steal a Brainrot, The Office, Blumhouse Horrorverse, Universal Monsters Arena, Coffee Fest).

Direct peers

• nDreams: UK-based VR-native studio behind Phantom: Covert Ops, Fracked, and Far Cry VR. Direct peer in size, business model, and multi-platform VR delivery to ARVORE's catalog.
• Fast Travel Games: Stockholm-based VR studio behind Wraith: The Oblivion – Afterlife and Cities VR. Direct peer in narrative-driven, multi-platform VR development; co-featured with ARVORE in Meta's VR Games Showcase March 2026.
• Survios: VR-native studio behind Creed: Rise to Glory, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, and Alien: Rogue Incursion. Direct peer in premium licensed-IP VR adaptations for major entertainment franchises, mirroring ARVORE's Boys / Universal / Blumhouse model.
• Owlchemy Labs: Independent VR studio behind Vacation Simulator, Job Simulator, and Cosmonious High. Direct peer in multi-platform premium VR; co-featured with ARVORE in Meta's VR Games Showcase March 2026.

Others

• Meta (Reality Labs / Quest): Platform owner of Meta Quest, the Horizon Store, and Horizon Worlds. ARVORE's distribution and enterprise co-development partner, but also the platform gatekeeper and owner of first-party VR studios, making it the single most consequential counterparty for ARVORE's business.

Broad incumbents

• Ready at Dawn: Acquired by Meta and behind Lone Echo, Echo VR, and the Quest-exclusive Asgard's Wrath series. Broader incumbent with overlapping VR-native narrative expertise; serves as a useful benchmark for what platform-owned VR studios can deliver at scale.

Emerging players

• Boneloaf: Indie VR studio behind Gorilla Tag, one of the highest-grossing Quest titles. Comparable as a small, independent VR-native studio achieving breakout commercial traction on Meta's platform, though with a live-service/UGC model rather than ARVORE's premium-IP approach.
