Stealth Bastard developer Curve Digital brings in VR specialist as new studio head

Indie studio Curve Digital is aiming to take on the virtual reality market, and that has it bringing in new talent.

The developer announced today that it has appointed former Sony Interactive Entertainment London Studios executive producer Brynley Gibson as its new head of studios. In that position, Gibson will oversee game production at Curve and its Zöe Mode and Headstrong Games subsidiaries. The new studio head will use his expertise in making VR games to push the company into that business. SuperData Research analysts predict VR could generate as much as $40 billion in revenues by 2020, and Curve is one of a number of studios trying to get in on that early.
