Meta is laying off about 10 percent of its Reality Labs metaverse division, and the cuts apparently include closing down some of its VR gaming studios. It “appears” Twisted Pixel Games, the developer of Marvel’s Deadpool VR, Sanzaru Games, the developer of the Asgard’s Wrath franchise, and Armature Studio, who worked on the Resident Evil 4 VR port, are all being shut down, according to former Twisted Pixel level designer Andy Gentile, who posted about being laid off.
