Xbox Is Shutting Down Four Studios Including Arkane Austin And Tango Gameworks
Xbox is shutting down four of its studios, including Redfall developer Arkane Austin and Ghostwire: Tokyo developer Tango Gameworks.
As shared by IGN, Xbox executive Matt Booty sent out a company-wide email detailing upcoming studio layoffs. "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things," said Booty in the email. "I acknowledge that these changes are also disruptive to the various support teams across ZeniMax and Bethesda that bring our games to market. We are making these tough decisions to create capacity to increase investment in other parts of our portfolio and focus on our priority games."
Arkane Austin will be closing and Redfall's most recent update will be the last one ever for the game as its development comes to a close. Booty said that the servers will remain online, and Arkane Austin confirmed that those who purchased the premium editions of the game will be eligible to receive credit.
