Ready at Dawn Studios, known for games like The Order: 1886 and the Lone Echo VR series, has closed its doors after more than two decades in the industry. The studio’s closure is attributed to Meta’s recent budget cuts and a shift in focus within its Reality Labs division. Despite the closure, Meta remains committed to its VR ambitions, particularly with the upcoming Quest 3 headset and its AR glasses initiatives.
Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus, announced he is working on a new virtual reality (VR) headset, reigniting excitement in the industry. Despite parting ways with Meta in 2017, Luckey expressed contrasting views on the company’s approach to VR, believing that low-cost headsets hindered its advancement. Luckey’s new VR headset faces competition from various players such as Apple, Meta, Sony, and HTC, but his understanding of the market and his experience in the field make him a formidable contender.
