Ready at Dawn was founded in 2003 by former members of Naughty Dog, and enjoyed a long relationship with Sony in the years after.

In 2017, Ready at Dawn entered into a partnership with Facebook’s Oculus Studios.

“Nearly 17 years ago, we embarked on a journey to build a game studio. Along the way, we innovated on genres, experiences, games and platforms,” tweeted Ru Weerasuriya, CEO and creative director at Ready at Dawn.

“Today, we’re excited to join the Facebook family as we open a new chapter in our story and continue to pursue our passions”.

According to Facebook, Ready at Dawn would 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.
