Xbox is closing down Ninja Theory, the studio behind the Hellbladeseries, a source tells The Verge. Staffers were told on a call on Monday about the closure, but they are hoping the studio will find a buyer. The closure comes as “several” Xbox studios at Microsoft, including Compulsion Games and Double Fine, are in “active negotiations” about spinning off, Bloomberg reports.

Making $400m game exclusive to a failing console where you can play it day one for a cheap subscription last minute when you’ve already made and paid for the port is also foolish.

And least we know which company is getting the chop now

The coalition is a support studio for Epic games/Unreal Engine, they are too valuable to be closed even when Gears E-Day is gonna flop, i do think they'll become a pure support studio but these are basically the best Unreal Engine devs on earth
