Description

OZWE Games is a Swiss development studio pioneering in Virtual Reality (VR) games with Oculus (Facebook-owned) as official partner.

Our studio is a leader in VR with a deep foundation in mobile optimization techniques and solid knowledge in cross-play and cross-platform development.

Mission

Our efforts focus on the invention of the next disruptive gaming interfaces: revolutionizing the way one interacts, physically and emotionally, with evolving virtual universes.

We aim to lead by example, set industry standards, and help move VR forward and break into the mainstream.

Brief History

The success story began on the shores of Lake Geneva when Stéphane Intissar, CEO OZWE Games, created a free demo for the Samsung Gear VR in late 2013. The Oculus team fell in love with it and contacted him to discuss a potential collaboration.

Since then, OZWE Games has released 4 VR titles, including the popular cross-play and cross-platform series Anshar produced and distributed by the giant Oculus, owned by Facebook.

Our flagship, Anshar Wars 2, renowned for its success on Samsung Gear VR, was made compatible with Oculus Rift, becoming the first cross-game and cross-buy game available on both models and translated into five languages.

Today, OZWE Games counts with a diverse team of VR fans, developers, designers, 2D/3D artists, storytellers, and marketers striving to show the world how revolutionary and fascinating VR can be.
