Virtual reality developer nDreams has received another £2 million in funding that will arrive in two chunks of £1 million each.

The developer has been working on VR games since 2013 and this new funding influx will help the company deliver games next year, which is when the Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive are all scheduled to launch.

nDreams has also hired four new employees to help develop its upcoming VR title, The Assembly. Tom Gillo, who spent nearly five years at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, takes on the role of vice president of development. Jamie Whitworth, former lead city designer at Rocksteady Studios, is the new lead designer.

Richard Fabian will serve as the code department manager. He previously worked at Rockstar Games and 22 Cans. Finally, Matt Simmonds has been hired as a senior audio designer. He has worked in the industry for over 25 years.

"With these new hires, we've raised the bar in terms of our studio's skillset, knowledge base and quality of our future output," said nDreams' CEO, Patrick O'Luanaigh. "With our new staff on board, we're very much looking forward to releasing 'The Assembly' on PC and PS4 in 2016."
