This is really sad if true.
If anything... they got to make Senua 2. I hope they will be happy with it and can land on their feet if they do get axed.

Yeah, even though I'm not a big fan of Hellblade I like Ninja Theory and don't want them going under.
That's a good attitude. I hope they don't get killed. I just pre-ordered Senua 2 myself. Hope they survive.

They want to be a large 3rd party publisher solely focusing on the money maker easy low risk franchise. Halo, COD, Forza, Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Diablo are the low risk franchise that make bread expect MS to double down & increase output out of these franchises whether mainline or spin offs
Fully expect MS to release there games day 1 on PS & Nintendo early next gen thoe I can see some games in 2025-2026 release day one like that one gears collection I can see that being Xbox, PC & PS simultaneously
Microsoft acquired studios that compete with themselves; Halo, Cod, Doom for example. Sure, they may offer a different flavour of fps but online time is competing for your time dedicated to one game. Fortnite kiddies don't split their time across five Battle royales.
The same goes for many genres across Microsoft and now they have double and tripled up in man-power, it's time to slim down and concentrate that work force. Do they need five teams working on UE5 FPS's? Or three leaned and efficient teams?
The layoffs will continue until quality improves.

So never?
Edit: actually, never is not possible. The layoffs will end once there is no one left to lay off.

I mean i guess the point is quality may bring more income due to more sakes but even thts not promised.

Of course in their current state they can't generally. Only studio tht can do tht is Playground studios but thy can't do it all.
They will hire more so they can keep firing, those who do the firing don't want to end up on the cutting room floor!
Haven't thought about this, but how stupid must someone be to actually accept a job there?
