Wimo emerged only a few years ago in 2021, going on to specialise largely invirtual reality titleswith co-op archery wave-defence game Battle Bows and track-build-and-racer Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem. As well as their VR output, the studio created dice-chucking mobile RPG adventure RPG Dice: Heroes of Whitestone.
The studio was home to just shy of three dozen staff, who were confirmed to have been laid off when Wimo closed their doors last week.
“I can confirm that this week we began winding down operations at Wimo Games,” CEO Dave Rosen told RockPaperShotgun in a statement. “It’s been an incredible three years working with this fantastic team and this is not the outcome we had hoped for.
“We’re immensely proud of our work on RPG Dice: Heroes of Whitestone, Battle Bows, and most recently, Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem. We’re grateful to each and every player that bought the games our team poured so much of their hard work into.

“Our passionate and incredibly talented team members will be looking for new jobs and were provided severance to assist in the transition. If you have roles available, or if you’ve spotted any openings, please contact Wimo through LinkedIn or those individuals directly. We appreciate our players and the many organisations who have collaborated with us so much.”
