Facebook Meta Interviews Baobab Studios CEO Maureen Fan Where She Gives Small Update On The Witchverse And InterCats.

Facebook Meta interviewed Baobab Studios CEO Maureen Fan, during the interview Fan confirmed that "THE WITCHVERSE" and "INTERCATS" are still happening and are coming to Disney+

That’s very interesting. So what are your thoughts—I’m curious about the current transition we’re seeing from fully immersive VR to these more hybrid mixed reality experiences. Is that a space that you’re interested in exploring? Do you think you’ll stick with fully immersive VR and then also the non-VR adaptations that you mentioned, the books, the comics, games, and films? I’m just curious how you’re thinking about that?

MF: A lot of the projects that we’re doing right now start off as one medium and move to another. For example, Momoguro was a line of Roblox games and now it’s a TV show. And Baba Yaga was originally an Oculus exclusive, and then now, it’s a TV series with Disney+.

Oh, cool. I hadn’t heard that.
