Emerging from the efforts of Fox Innovation Lab, a new games studio called FoxNext has arisen.
Fox announced the new studio this week, saying that it will consolidate current gaming efforts while pursuing new titles. These include “virtual and augmented reality productions,” such as Fox Innovation’s 2016 The Martian VR Experience and upcoming projects based on the Aliens and Planet of the Apes franchises. Salil Mehta has been named president of FoxNext.
“Extending our storytelling to new platforms in new ways is a constant focus for us as we look to build more touch points with consumers every day. Building on the momentum we’ve already seen in this area via the Fox Innovation Lab, FoxNext represents a natural next step in defining our long-term vision in this arena,” commented Twentieth Century Fox Film CEO Stacey Snider.
