Twisted Pixel Games, Sanzaru Games, and Armature Studio are no more.
Meta has closed down three of its Oculus Studios VR devs as part of reported layoffs of 10% of its AR/VR focused Reality Labs division. Those studios include Twisted Pixel Games (Deadpool VR), Sanzaru Games (Asgard’s Wrath), and Armature Studio (Resident Evil 4 VR).
“We said last month that we were shifting some of our investment from Metaverse toward Wearables,” Meta told Game Developer, confirming the studio closures.
“This is part of that effort, and we plan to reinvest the savings to support the growth of wearables this year,” Meta continued.
Meta — either as Meta or as Facebook — acquired Sanzaru Games back in 2020, followed by Twisted Pixel Games and Armature Studio in 2022. Meta also acquired Echo VR developer Ready at Dawn back in 2020 and closed the studio down in 2024.
Bloomberg adds that devs behind the Supernatural VR fitness app will no longer develop new content for it, but the “existing product” will still be supported.
Our hearts go out to those who’ve lost their jobs as a result of Meta’s decisions.
