So you may be familiar with Weta Digital (VFX company: Avatar, etc.) or Weta Workshop (physical manufacturing: they made The Game Awards trophy!), well there's a new division called Weta Gameshop which officially launched today. But they've been working behind the scenes for at least 6 years now.
They're working with Magic Leap on a new mixed reality game at the moment called Dr Grordbort's Invaders.

I think it's worth posting since Weta are top of their respective fields in VFX and physical manufacturing. So it'll be interesting to see what kind of impact they have on the gaming sector.
EDIT: To clarify, it looks like it's actually a division of Weta Workshop specifically.
