Xbox is closing down Ninja Theory, the studio behind the Hellblade series, a source tells The Verge. Staffers were told on a call on Monday about the closure.
follow up to the last post just a few hours ago that they were negotiating with xbox. who knows what will happen to the other studios mentioned.
I guess the kinda games they make cost a lot of money and don‘t have the mass appeal to rake huge RoI in, still wish clearly talented studios like these could do their thing in a smaller scope under publishers that don‘t calculate MS kinda RoIs instead of just being closed down.
New CEO can’t stop Xbox from killing any studio within reach.
There’s speculation that Arkane will be shuttered soon as well
Well, she’s been bringing all her AI chums onboard, so I’ll guessing AI will save the day… /s
RIP to my hopes of another Prey title.
So uh, what’s that mean for Senua–the game that they literally just announced at their showcase less than a week ago?
During that event, Microsoft also revealed a new Hellblade game, Senua, and its future with this change is unclear.
From the article.
will be entirely AI generated.
I hope this joke doesn’t become true.
Senua’s Psychosis: AI Boogaloo
Will this be another Bayonetta 2 situation?
What is the Bayonetta 2 situation? (I know the game, just don’t know what the situation is.)
B2 was offered to multiple publishers and Nintendo showed up at the 11th hour to save the game from being cancelled. Setting up the Bayonetta series as a Nintendo exclusive mostly because everyone else was willing to let it die.
That series in general seems like a great fit for Nintendo. Contrary to the Xbox approach of buying up anything to see what sticks.
Turns out the shotgun approach is expensive and also yields minimal results. Shocker.
FUCK, I love those guys!
Don’t judge me, but I think their take on DmC is the best combats system in any action game.

I low key prefer DmC over the others. The gameplay and music is just so good
