Who is Victoria VR?[]
Victoria VR (est. 2021) is an innovative game development studio headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic. The studio is best known for creating the Victoria VR Metaverse—a massive, open-world MMORPG built for VR with a play-to-earn economy, powered by the $VR token.
The team includes over 80 developers, designers, and technologists, with expertise across Unreal Engine, VR interaction systems, blockchain integration, and procedural art pipelines. Magic Madness is one of the key pillars in their expanding portfolio and the first competitive standalone title under the Victoria VR brand.
Magic Madness: A PvP VR Arena Game[]
Magic Madness is a fast-paced, spell-based PvP arena shooter developed entirely by Victoria VR. Players engage in short, competitive matches using elemental spells based on the five Feng Shui elements—Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood. Each spell is visually distinct and can be combined into powerful combos.
Key features of Magic Madness include:
- Cross-platform VR multiplayer (PCVR + Meta Quest)
- Real-time voice chat, spell physics, and responsive combat
- AI bot support for training and quick matchmaking
- Custom avatars, skins, and immersive first-person controls
- Competitive design focused on skill-based gameplay
Magic Madness is currently available in Early Access on Steam and other VR platforms as of March 2025.
History of Development[]
The origins of Magic Madness go back to Asugea, the first city in the Victoria VR metaverse. Initially launched as a PvP minigame inside the larger MMORPG, the concept quickly gained popularity among testers.
Recognizing its standalone potential, Victoria VR spun off Magic Madness into a separate project. The studio launched several closed beta rounds in late 2024, gathering valuable feedback and optimizing performance across headsets. Public early access followed in March 2025.
From the beginning, Victoria VR was the sole developer, designing gameplay systems, VFX, netcode, matchmaking, and environmental design in-house.
Technology & Innovation[]
Victoria VR leverages a proprietary toolset built inside Unreal Engine 5 to deliver ultra-smooth VR performance, even in fast-paced PvP matches. Key technologies used in Magic Madness include:
- Vertex Animated Textures (VATs): Bringing complex Houdini simulations (spells, particles) into Unreal with minimal performance impact.
- Niagara System: Dynamic control of VFX linked to gameplay mechanics.
- Copernicus Texture Engine: A procedural tool developed by Victoria VR to quickly generate decals, sprites, and textures based on concept art.
- Procedural Art Pipelines: Used for level design and avatar customization.
The game is optimized for both high-end PCVR and standalone VR devices, with seamless crossplay support between Oculus Quest and desktop VR.
Magic Madness in the Victoria VR Ecosystem[]
Magic Madness isn’t just a standalone game—it’s a gateway experience into the larger Victoria VR metaverse. By attracting competitive players and VR enthusiasts, Magic Madness serves to:
- Showcase the graphical and gameplay capabilities of Victoria VR technology
- Create a competitive core that complements the social and economic systems of the Victoria VR world
- Expand the utility and visibility of the $VR token by integrating it into in-game customization and rewards (planned)
Victoria VR has stated that titles like Magic Madness are part of their long-term strategy to grow user engagement and establish the metaverse as a complete ecosystem of games, social hubs, and commerce.
