we don't know for sure, but I'd bet they made an offer.
BREAKING: Xbox is shutting down Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, and two other studios.
- Thread starter Luffy123
- Start date
This is sad, I don't care about Xbox, but I'm sorry for the lost jobs
tony hawk studio as dead as these, because they are made as support studio to COD.
We could possibly get something similar to Hi Fi from that guy that left from Tango shortly after Bethesda was bought. Either way so much for people feeling secured being under Microsofts wing this should be a lesson to.
anyone who was looking to be bought by them. They'll close them down without a thought to spare. Funny how they just released HiFi rush to P.S then they close the studio down. This just goes to show they don't care about new I.P they just want the money makers. (Elder Scrolls, Fallout)

You buy studios only to shut them down?
Tango is a great studio, WTF
Seriously Microsoft, Go fuck yourselves.

I don’t not if you referring to me, but I will say something. I only wish Sony to acquire Square Enix, because they need help. Square has been lost over a decade, they don’t know wha they are doing. Also SE has been hurting financially for years. Sony would give them guidance + I think it’s not SIE which would own them, it’s more the parent company Sony Group Corporation. I think Square Enix would benefit being bought by Sony.
Jesus Christ, Tango too!? DAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!
Between Sony and Microsoft, I don't know who's catching the fatter Ls of late.

Ninja Theory if Senua Hellblade 2 will flop. But I think it will ultimately, even if they port it to PS.
I wonder if @Yuniac will passionately speak on this like they did with the login drama
Excepted.
Told you before the acquisition deal closed
The usual Microsoft buy and kill strategy.

This is what happens when the studios you initially acquired to make oddball exclusive games to prop up your console are now being put to use as multiplatform studios. I called this way back when.
Buy up everything in order to better destroy it.Excepted.

That's Microsoft's philosophy.
Turn 10 is literally their only relevant studio. They wont shut them down, actually I can't even say that with any certainty....
After Hellblade 2 ps5 port, I can see Ninja Theory being closed down. They wasted 4 years on Bleeding Edge and dropped support for it in less than a year. Hellblade 2 is only 8 hours, $50, and has no physical release, similar to HiFi Rush, it feels like they're putting it out just to get it out.
Xbox is dead, and Microsoft Gaming is just gonna become ABK/Bethesda mash up. All of the smaller studios like Obsidian will become Bethesda support studios and they'll milk Fallout and Elder Scrolls as much as they can.
The compulsion game is going to flop 100%. That studio made one of the worst games possible in We Happy Few, why xbox even acquired them boggles my mind
This is what makes gamers fixations on situations like this ridiculous. Company is gonna do what they gotta do to make their money. You have to be cutthroat to run a business. If the game doesn't make money, studio will close. This isn't a charity. Tired of people acting like MS is above being a profitable business first and foremost
