Meta just gutted its VR division and officially killed the Batman sequel everyone wanted. Mark Rolston accidentally leaked that he was playing Commissioner Gordon for a follow-up to Batman: Arkham Shadow before corporate overlords stepped in. Reports indicate Reality Labs slashed staff significantly at Camouflaj while canceling that project. The studio will apparently stop developing virtual reality titles altogether.
Twisted Pixel Games and Sanzaru Games vanished completely during this purge. These closures happened alongside a massive cut of roughly one thousand employees across the Reality Labs branch. Camouflaj survived total destruction but seemingly exists in name only regarding VR output.
Sanzaru Games was reportedly co-developing that Batman sequel before getting shuttered. That collaboration falling apart contributed to the project getting scrapped. Mark Zuckerberg clearly lost interest in the Metaverse concept while pivoting hard toward artificial intelligence instead.
Virtual reality remains a niche hobby despite years of hype. Fans feel gutted because Asgard's Wrath 2 and Arkham Shadow actually pushed the medium forward. Hopefully, Camouflaj avoids becoming a mere support team for whatever skeleton crew remains.
