Martin Rumenov In a move set to shake up the VR gaming industry, Squido Studio, the award-winning team behind No More Rainbows and DigiGods, has announced a strategic alliance with CurlyBlue, the creative studio founded by popular VR YouTuber jmancurly. The partnership merges Squido’s seasoned technical expertise with CurlyBlue’s community-driven creativity to craft a new wave of groundbreaking VR experiences for the Meta Quest platform.
A First-of-Its-Kind Collaboration
This alliance unites veteran industry professionals, including David Chartrand (CEO of Squido Studio) and Eric Laurent (Marketing Director), with the massive online influence of Julian Elchakieh, better known as jmancurly, and his father Georges Elchakieh. Combining game design experience with the power of content creator culture, the partnership aims to redefine how VR games are made and experienced.
Beyond a single title, the collaboration represents a long-term vision to build multiple high-quality VR projects that resonate with both gamers and creators. The first of these, Wizherd, marks the beginning of this bold new chapter.
Enter ‘Wizherd’ — Magic at Your Fingertips
Set to launch on Meta Quest on February 12, 2026, Wizherd is a high-energy, spell-slinging dungeon crawler built around fast combat and deep customization. Players can cast spells with intuitive hand gestures, face massive bosses, and explore a series of unique dungeons filled with loot and surprises.
Key features include:
- Deep Customization: Build your own spellcaster with more than 10 spells and 30 perks.
- Loot and Progression: Equip enchanted rings that boost stats and unlock new powers.
- Varied Environments: Fight across different dungeons, enemies, and regions.
- Future Expansions: The launch marks just the beginning, with more updates and content planned.
With options for both solo play and co-op multiplayer, Wizherd promises chaotic magical battles and replayability that encourages both casual and competitive players to dive in.
Building Toward the Future of VR
The Squido–CurlyBlue partnership is rooted in a shared goal: to create immersive worlds that connect creativity, social play, and technical excellence. While Squido brings proven development infrastructure and polished gameplay systems, CurlyBlue contributes the energy of jmancurly’s vast online community and its emphasis on fun, player-driven experiences.
Upcoming projects aim to expand on this model with community feedback loops, innovative VR mechanics, and a growing portfolio of games on the Meta Horizon Store — all crafted to push immersion and replayability to new levels.
