What Albyon does

Albyon is the parent entity behind Atlas V, a France-based immersive entertainment company founded in 2017 (operating-entity) and headquartered in Paris, with a listed footprint in Lyon. The company develops award-winning virtual reality, mixed reality, 360 video, gaming, and immersive exhibition experiences, ranging from narrative-driven titles such as Battlescar and The Exploding Girl VR to major-IP licensed projects including Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom and Wallace & Gromit in The Grand Getaway, alongside original gaming titles like A Climbing Game and Jabu Jabu.

The company operates through two functional branches: a Studio branch responsible for creative concept development across VR, gaming, and mixed reality formats, and a Production branch handling end-to-end content delivery and global distribution. This vertical integration is positioned by the company as enabling control across the full value chain from creation to distribution. Content is delivered across multiple channels including PCVR, mobile, Meta Horizon Worlds, and physical exhibition venues, with the company claiming a global distribution footprint.

Customer-facing monetization operates on two tiers: a primary consumer segment seeking immersive entertainment experiences (VR, gaming, mixed reality, exhibitions), and a secondary segment of platform distributors and licensing partners acquiring content for distribution. Antoine Cayrol is identified as co-founder. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, revenue figures, or funding rounds in the source data; headcount is reported at 51–100 employees.
