Virtual reality pioneer CCP Games has raised $30 million to continue with VR game development. The funding shows the level of excitement, even for old game companies like CCP (the maker of Eve Online, one of the most popular massively multiplayer online role-playing games in the world), in augmented and virtual reality, which tech adviser Digi-Capital expects to be a $150 billion industry by 2020.

The Reykjavik, Iceland-based game publisher has been developing two VR games, Eve: Valkyrie and Gunjack, for upcoming VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift, which debuts next year from Facebook’s Oculus VR division.
