Meta unveils a new game for Horizon Worlds dubbed Super Rumble which is notably the first game out of the company's in-house studio Ouro Interactive.
Additionally, the Horizon team is reportedly building a mobile app as well and Super Rumble will be one of the first titles to launch when the mobile platform does kick off with cross-platform play as a feature. Meta's VP of Metaverse Vishal Shah notes that "As consumers come to Horizon, we want to make sure there's a bunch of compelling content that they can find on day one. We're going to seed the ecosystem, bootstrap it with stuff that we build both in-house, but also with some studios that we're working with."
