Meta Ends Batman VR Sequel and Withdraws from Virtual Reality Gaming SectorMeta Platforms has announced a significant shift in its business strategy, signaling a retreat from the development and support of virtual reality (VR) gaming. The company has confirmed that it will not move forward with the planned sequel to the acclaimed VR game, 'Batman: Arkham Shadow.' This decision comes as part of broader restructuring measures within Meta's internal gaming studios and the cessation of funding initiatives for VR game development. These measures reflect a broader reprioritization within Meta, as the company reallocates resources away from VR gaming toward other technological areas. Despite the shift away from VR gaming, Meta has indicated that its metaverse ambitions will continue, albeit with an increased emphasis on mobile platforms and other emerging technologies.
