New Faces and Promotions (May 2022 Update)
We started the year with growth like we’d never seen before, as we looked to ensure the right team was in place for all of the exciting projects we have in the works. Well, we’ve gone on to break our own personal record. We’ve just had our BIGGEST period of growth since nDreams began – and we’ve been around a while! – as we look to build out the team at Farnborough, as well as solidifying our Orbital and Elevation studios.
It’s an incredibly exciting time to be working in the virtual reality space as we move into next gen, and there’s no better place to do it than at nDreams, where we’ve been specialising in VR gaming for almost a decade. We cannot wait to share what each of our studios has been working on, from more exciting details about Ghostbusters VR to secret, unannounced projects just waiting to be revealed.
Until then, join us in welcoming our newest additions and in congratulating those who’ve been promoted over the last few months…
