Funding obtained as part of Who VR™'s MegaGrant will be used for developing the first-of-its-kind heritage strategy game for PC and console. On a mission to marry the ancient with the modern, Who VR™ is developing the Indic metaverse and this grant will help further that development and provide an immersive experience unleashed by Epic’s Unreal Engine. Who VR™ hopes to usher in a revolution with Heritage Gaming in India.

"Our mission is to make history enjoyable. Games, we believe, are a great medium to engage the next generation and help them experience history and heritage" says Ajit Padmanabh, Founder and CEO at Who VR™. “We intend to create temple worlds where intricate details and authentic material textures will take primacy, as a tribute to our ancestors. Powered by the high degree of photorealism in Unreal Engine, Who VR™ intends to usher in a new wave of heritage gaming.” Support from our Epic MegaGrant will aid the Who VR™ team to continue development and bring this revolutionary game to more markets in 2023 and beyond."

The MegaGrant announcement rounds out a hallmark year for Who VR™.
