Digital Domain is uniquely positioned to play a key role in the VR content market. The studio has years of experience creating visual effects for Hollywood feature films and advertisements, including original works from world-class entertainment industry partners. The company’s offerings include animation, short films, and documentaries, as well as livestreaming and VOD from landmark musical, political, and entertainment events from around the globe.

“To build on Digital Domain’s legacy, the studio’s first piece of original content needed to be an impressive mix of all our in-house talent and capabilities,” added Wayne Kennedy, Director of Creative Development, Digital Domain. “Upon considering many great stories, I was most inspired by a childhood favorite of mine, the fabled story of Monkey King. Our team adapted the fantastical tale with some originality and are excited to introduce the story to western audiences. Bringing a cinematic experience to an immersive world will open up the possibilities of virtual reality to a more diverse audience.”

Download the first three chapters of “Monkey King” today on the PlayStation™ Network for $9.99. “Monkey King” will also be available on Oculus, HTC Vive, Google Daydream, Steam and Google Cardboard later this year.
