In the back of this year's release of The Order: 1886, developer Ready At Dawn has announced some high-level changes to the studio to focus it for the future.
"What we did on the PS4 for The Order: 1886, we can also do today on Xbox One, PC, and on an additional unannounced platform."
Lone Echo developer Ready at Dawn has reportedly been heavily affected by the latest round of job cuts at Meta Quest.
I thought Sony owned them. 1/3 of their studio was laid off including the studio head. Jesus, they were literally acquired by Meta in 2020 and now their whole studio has been gutted. They should have focused on making console games instead of pursuing VR. I kinda wished MS would have bought them in 2018 when they were acquiring smaller studios. They would have been a good acquisition.
What a waste of talent and potential this studio turned out. Oh what could've been, just another victim of fabricated outrage.
What's even more depressing ...
Ready at Dawn had a working PC version of Order 1886 ready and showed it off at SIGGRAPH 2015.
* sigh* we'll never get that, nor Order 1887
pity, their proprietary graphics engine was ahead of its time ...
I thought the order was one of the best games on PS4. Intersesting characters, nice gameplay, cool weapons. Shame Sony let IGN fanboys dictate what to incest in.
Im actually more surprised that Ready at Dawn devs still exists, I havent hear of them until this article appeared , what have they being doing all this effing time?, at least throw 60 fps patch for the Order.
VRFocus says: "There’s a lot to love and get engrossed in as it’s so immersive, the real criticism comes from the fact that Lone Echo II plays everything a little too safe. The experience doesn’t break any new ground and it really could’ve done with some greater challenges thrown in. On the other hand, it was engrossing until the very end, easily the standout AAA VR experience of 2021."
A shame it's stuck on Facebook hardware. This studio could and should have been working on The Order 2 instead of Facebook games.
After several delays, there are now only a couple of weeks to wait.

additional unannounced platform? Nintendo?

about the Order1886 sales"we are well on our way to achieving the sales performance that we sought"
Wish they would've gone multiplatform from the begining, they made Sony pay for their boring game for nothing
Unsurprised. The Order didn't do well for Sony, so I'm guessing we wont see a sequel, at least from RAD.
The team seems really focused on making "Film" games, seeing as they keep throwing around the word "transmedia".
Not sure I'm on board with that direction, but variety isn't bad. Let's just hope they take the criticisms of The Order to heart and learn to improve them.
Well I guess the Order was their chance to shine for Sony and it didn't work out :(
Sucks because I was actually looking forward to a sequel for The Order but looks like that won't happen.
