The studio behind Lone Echo and The Order: 1886
Some of us still associate Ready At Dawn with the cinematic PS4 shooterThe Order: 1886, but recently, the studio has leaned into VR with games likeLone Echoand its in-development sequelLone Echo II. That path is even more set in stone today. Facebook went ahead and acquired Ready At Dawn.
Excited to share that we’re joining the Oculus Studios team! Together, we will continue to pursue a future of rich, immersive and original VR game content. Excited for what’s to come!https://t.co/Cmj2bAGtO5

According to Oculus, “the entire Ready At Dawn team will be joining the Oculus Studios team.”
The current staff “will continue to build amazing game experiences as an independent studio operating out of their current offices in Irvine, CA, and Portland, OR, with the full support of Facebook and the Oculus Studios team behind them.”Despite a delay,Lone Echo IIis aiming for a 2020 launch.
Big picture, Ready At Dawn is striving for “memorable, immersive, and innovative VR content.”
This is a smart buy. As for other potential studio acquisitions, Oculus Studios says it is “exploring many ways to accelerate VR, and we have awesome and innovative plans for the next few years of gaming.”
Ready At Dawn is on the right track in the VR space, and I’d love to seeThe Orderlive on elsewhere.
