Meta’s metaverse layoffs apparently embrace a few of its VR studios
Meta is shedding about 10 % of its Actuality Labs metaverse division, and the cuts apparently embrace closing down a few of its VR gaming studios. It “seems” Twisted Pixel Video games, the developer of Marvel’s Deadpool VR, Sanzaru Video games, the developer of the Asgard’s Wrath franchise, and Armature Studio, who labored on the Resident Evil 4 VR port, are all being shut down, in keeping with former Twisted Pixel stage designer Andy Gentile, who posted about being laid off.
Different laid off staffers have posted in regards to the closures, too.
Meta didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark. In an announcement in regards to the broader Actuality Labs layoffs, Meta spokesperson Tracy Clayton stated that “We stated final month that we have been shifting a few of our funding from Metaverse towards Wearables. That is a part of that effort, and we plan to reinvest the financial savings to help the expansion of wearables this yr.”
