Sólfar develops exclusively projects for the virtual reality. The studio has already prepared a demo version of the first application called Everest VR. This is a flight simulator over the highest mountain in the world. Sólfar is working on the project together with RVX animation studio. The game is designed for virtual reality helmets on PC. It will be released in 2016.
Sólfar also announced another project – for VR helmets on PS4. It is called Godling and tells about the adventures of a creature that grows and, as it grows, gains control over magical powers. The release date of the game is still unknown.
