Serebrum Lab

Serebrum Lab was an independent virtual reality game development studio operating as a distributed, multinational team. Its work focused on multiplayer tactical first-person shooters for PC VR, combining Unreal Engine development with room-scale interaction, motion tracking and free locomotion.

The studio’s sole documented commercial production was ShadowCore VR, initially titled ShadowCore. Designed for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality headsets, the game placed players in a cyberpunk future where rival conglomerate factions fought over dwindling resources. Its multiplayer combat combined a tactical respawn system with three hero classes: Assault, Support and Recon. Their abilities included an auto-aim ultimate, deployable protective energy shields and vision through walls.

The project appeared in development records in June 2017 and entered early access later that year through Steam and itch.io. Yanbian Silverstar Network Technology Co., Ltd. served as its commercial publisher. Serebrum Lab continued updating the game through early 2018, expanding its multiplayer systems and refining combat.

The studio’s capabilities encompassed game design, software programming, VR environments, mech and character assets, and multiplayer networking. Its operating model centred on online collaboration rather than dedicated physical studio premises.

Development ended in 2018. The supplied research connects the cessation of activity and the game’s removal from Steam with sanctions imposed on its publisher that September. The studio’s original website subsequently went offline, while its itch.io profile and project page remain available as public records of its work.
