I wonder how this has affected the development of PlayCanvas. I don't see any statements about the acquisition or even just a roadmap or statement about the future.

It looks like Snap bought it + a game studio and then launched a few html5 games inside of Snapchat. But I dont see anything after that. Seems like maybe gaming inside of snapchat just fizzled out? That doesn't bode well for PlayCanvas development...

Their lenses I think are all JavaScript, not sure if it’s WebGl rendering though, but it would make sense to do that to be cross platform

Check out on blog of released major features and releases on github for the engine. It is only growing.
