Sanzaru Games, Inc. is a United States-based video game development firm established in 2006 in Foster City, California. The company maintains a branch studio named Kitazaru located in Ottawa, Ontario, as well as an additional office in Dublin, California. Its name is inspired by the Japanese expression referring to the three wise monkeys.
History
The initial release from Sanzaru was Ninja Reflex (2008), launched on PC, Nintendo DS, and Wii platforms. Subsequently, they produced a port of Secret Agent Clank (2009) for the PlayStation 2. Their third endeavor involved creating The Sly Collection (2010), which presented remastered high-definition versions of the Sly Cooper series originally developed by Sucker Punch Productions, available for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. Additionally, they collaborated with Big Fish Games on Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident (2011) for Wii.
In 2013, Sanzaru launched Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, a sequel whose release was postponed from late 2012. Later on, the studio handled a remake of Spyro: Year of the Dragon included within the Spyro Reignited trilogy.
On October 10, 2019, the company introduced Asgard's Wrath, an action-adventure title designed exclusively for Oculus Rift VR.
Facebook acquired Sanzaru Games on February 25, 2020, folding it into its Oculus Studios division under the larger Meta Platforms umbrella.
