Most probably already know the name Jon Favreau, but that isn’t due to an association with video games or virtual reality. Favreau’s claim to fame is his part as a Producer, Director, and Actor in various MCU and Disney films. Gnomes and Goblins started out as a quiet project despite having such a big name attached to it, and went several years without much news or progress being made, prompting many to believe the project may have been scrapped until recently.

Though it may seem strange for Favreau to be working on a virtual reality game, he actually has extensive experience with the technology. As director of the live action remake of Lion King, Favreau used virtual reality technology frequently when planning out scenes and designing landscapes.
