Three months later, CEO Dave Rosen introduced that Micro Machines and Battle Bows will now be managed by Past Frames Leisure (Toy Monsters, Ghosts of Tabor) and Moon Mode Video games (Spacefolk Metropolis).

Maeva Sponbergs, Head of Publishing at Past Frames Leisure, supplied UploadVR the next assertion:
Because the XR area continues to develop and evolve, it’s necessary to have fun the work being completed to push new boundaries by studios of all sizes and shapes. After talking with the WIMO Video games group following the studio’s closure earlier this yr, we had been completely satisfied to have the ability to step in to take over as writer for Battle Bows and Micro Machines: Mini Problem Mayhem, making certain the video games can proceed to function for the gamers that love them and that the group’s legacy might be preserved.
Whereas January’s closure was a shock so quickly after launching Micro Machines, WIMO Video games is not the one affected VR developer as the broader video games business sees persevering with job losses. Alongside layoffs at Supermassive Video games, Archiact, TxK Gaming Studios, we have additionally seen PlayStation London Studio and First Contact closing down.
