Sinn Studio Inc.

Canada-based Sinn Studio is a VR game development studio focused on combat games. The company developed Swordsman VR (launched in September 2020, priced at USD 20), a single-player physics-based sword-fighting game set in medieval times. The game aims to provide an authentic melee combat experience by prioritizing subtle nuances, such as animation styles, AI decision pacing, and realistic opponent behavior. 

The company stated that it was on the verge of bankruptcy before releasing Swordsman VR, which became a top-selling VR game title. The title was made available on Steam, the Meta Quest Store, PS VR, and other platforms. Older VR game titles it launched included The Perfect Sniper (January 2018, USD 17), an action game, and the horror game Wraith (October 2017, USD 6).

Key customers and partnerships

As of May 2024, Swordsman VR had over 1,300 reviews on the Meta Quest Store. 

Funding and financials

In May 2024, the company raised USD 2.5 million in a funding round led by Hartmann Capital. The funds were earmarked to develop the first “real-time PvP VR combat game.” The game will use the company's proprietary "Combat Engine" and a neural network "specially designed to discern and learn from the intricate subtleties of human motion during combat."
