Premier League teams up with Rezzil to develop VR football game
Manchester-based studio Rezzil announced a partnership with the Premier League for the development of a VR football game. Rezzil typically develops sports gaming software for athlete training and game analysis within virtual reality, so it does seem to have experience both in VR and games development.
According to the announcement, the Premier League and Rezzil will co-develop a VR football game, which is expected to launch later this year. The game will offer players the chance to step into the boots of their favorite Premier League players and recreate iconic Premier League goals and moments in VR.
Furthermore, Rezzil says that its software integrates directly with Premier League match data allowing clubs to adapt the software to re-create match scenarios and replay them through a VR headset.
The four-year partnership also involves the Premier League taking an equity stake in Rezzil, allowing the latter to invest more resources into VR and XR (extended reality) technology.
