End of an Era: Closure of Ready at Dawn Studios by Meta
Ready at Dawn Studios, renowned for its Echo virtual reality (VR) series on the Meta Quest platform, has been officially closed down by its parent company, Meta, effective immediately.
As reported by Android Central, this closure comes just a year and a half after Meta acquired the studio. This decision follows a recent report from mid-July indicating that Meta intends to reduce its Reality Labs division budget by 20 percent by 2026. This budget cut aligns with the anticipated launch of newer VR headsets, the Meta Quest 4 and Quest 4s.
A Legacy in Gaming
The gaming legacy of Ready at Dawn dates back to Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP), where they debuted their first game in 2006 with Daxter, a spin-off from the popular Jak and Daxter franchise. The studio gained further recognition through three entries in Sony’s iconic God of War series for PSP: Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and< em>The Olympus Collection.
The transition to console gaming came in 2015 when Ready at Dawn released The Order: 1886, a Victorian-era third-person action-adventure that generated excitement for its stunning visuals. Despite receiving mixed reviews upon release, they continued to explore new genres with the multiplayer game< em>Editormers (2017), described as “cannibalistic combat within vibrant cartoon realms” by Engadget’s senior editor Jessica Conditt.
