Facebook Continues Its Gaming Push With Another Studio Acquisition

Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) Oculus virtual-reality unit announced on Monday that it had acquired Ready at Dawn, the video game studio responsible for titles including Lone Echo and The Order: 1886. Ready at Dawn has already released three titles for the Oculus VR platform, and its fourth, Lone Echo II, is currently in development.

Oculus cited Ready at Dawn's proven track record, experience with virtual reality, and the innovative, zero-gravity-based gameplay of the developer's Echo series as reasons why it had pursued the acquisition deal.
