Facebook killed off Facebook Spaces, their VR world, last year, and announced a replacement, Facebook Horizon, four months ago. It's supposedly in beta, according to the website. (https://www.oculus.com/facebookhorizon/) Lots of PR at the time. Supposed to be the future of VR.

But, searching for videos newer than four months ago, there's nothing. No news. No gameplay videos of the beta. Search finds barely a mention of the thing. What happened? Was it delayed? Quietly canceled?

I think it's just a poorly managed announcement/release, or maybe the beta feedback is worse than expected. Everything I've heard suggests it's still coming.
