Meta Shuts Down Supernatural's VR Studios Amid Community Backlash

In a surprising move, Meta has announced that it will be shutting down its Supernatural-themed virtual reality fitness game, sparking widespread outrage among fans who have grown deeply attached to the immersive experience. The decision comes as part of broader efforts by the company to streamline its content offerings and reduce costs. Supernatural, which has been around since 2018, was created in collaboration with the popular TV show Supernatural, a fantasy horror series that follows two brothers on their supernatural adventures. The VR game allows players to experience a unique blend of fitness and fantasy, as they journey through fantastical worlds inspired by the show’s universe. For many fans, including Sherry Dickson, 69-year-old retired elementary school teacher, Supernatural was more than just a game – it was a community. Players would gather in VR environments, socialize, and even participate in fitness challenges together. The game had gained a dedicated following, with players drawn to its unique blend of exercise and fantasy. However, Meta’s decision to shut down the studios behind the game has left many fans feeling devastated. “It’s like losing a part of our community,” said Dickson, who spends hours playing Supernatural each week. “I’ve made so many friends through this game – it’s hard to imagine going back to just doing solo workouts.” As news of the shutdown spread, fans took to social media to express their outrage and disappointment. Many called on Meta to reconsider its decision, urging the company to find a way to keep the Supernatural community alive. While Meta has not provided an official statement on why it decided to shut down the studios, sources suggest that the move was part of a broader effort to reduce costs and focus on more lucrative content offerings. The news has left many fans wondering what the future holds for Supernatural – will the game be revived, or is it truly dead? Only time will tell.
