Meta Acquires Camouflaj, Twisted Pixel, and Armature Studio

Meta is one of the biggest names in the VR market, and it’s no surprise that it’s continuing to invest further in itself as it looks to become even bigger. At its most recent Connect presentation, for instance, the company announced the acquisition of three development studios that will join the Oculus Studios banner.

The first of these is Armature Studio, which, of course, has seen great success on Meta platforms of late, thanks to the launch of Resident Evil 4 VR. Meta has also acquired Twisted Pixel, which was a Microsoft studio from 2011 to 2015 before become independent again. Over the last few years, Twisted Pixel has worked almost exclusively on VR games for Meta platforms, including the likes of Wilson’s Heart, Path of the Warrior, and more.

Finally, Camouflaj has also been acquired, which, of course, is a studio that has plenty of experience with virtual reality. Most notably, Camouflaj developed the PlayStation VR exclusive Marvel’s Iron Man VR. 

So what are these three studios working on next? “It’ll be a while before we can reveal what they’re working on, but we’re excited to continue working with and supporting these developers as they bring ambitious and forward-thinking games to VR,” Meta says.

In related news, it’s also been announced that Marvel’s Iron Man VR is coming to the Meta Quest. Read more on that through here.
