Today, it was revealed that Austin, Texas-based developer Owlchemy Labs -- who you may recognize from Job Simulator and Rick and Morty Simulator: Virtual Rick-ality -- has been acquired by big ol' Google.

A price point -- nor any notable specifics -- were divulged by either Google or Owlchemy Labs. The latter did reveal that it will continue to develop "high quality VR content" in a statement it released. From said release, Owlchemy Labs wrote the following about the acquisition:

"We set out on a journey over six years ago to build the kinds of games we wanted to see exist. Over those years, we learned that Owlchemy, at its core, cares deeply about a few key things: building quality multi-platform games, solving tough problems with a small but absurdly talented team, sharing our learnings with the community, and Austin’s famous tacos. Now, as we look to the future with Google by our side, we couldn’t be happier. Our plan to build awesome things will continue forward stronger than ever.

This means Owlchemy will continue building high quality VR content for platforms like the HTC Vive, Oculus Touch, and PlayStation VR. This means continuing to focus on hand interactions and high quality user experiences, like with Job Simulator. This means continuing our mission to build VR for everyone, and doing all of this as the same silly Owlchemy Labs you know and love. We are continuing to do all of this with even more support and focus on building awesome stuff. It’s incredibly exciting that Google and Owlchemy are so well aligned on our goals and vision for the future of VR."

"We're insanely excited to join the Google family and we cannot freaking wait to show you what we're concocting next at Owlchemy Labs. The future of VR is extremely bright, so we're donning our lab goggles just in case."

Meanwhile Google had the following to say about its latest purchase:

"Today, we're thrilled to welcome Owlchemy Labs to Google. They've created award-winning games like Job Simulator and Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality which have really thoughtful interactive experiences that are responsive, intuitive, and feel natural. They've helped set a high bar for what engagement can be like in virtual worlds, and do it all with a great sense of humor!

"Together, we'll be working to create engaging, immersive games and developing new interaction models across many different platforms to continue bringing the best VR experiences to life. There is so much more to build and learn, so stay tuned!"

This is obviously a very big move for Owlchemy Labs who will undoubtedly benefit from Google's immense resources. I'm personally now even more excited to see what the folk over at Owlchemy cook up next.
