1. prob is a typo
2. if not, Moon is the beast that could happen, but wont. Moon founder was quite clear in the past that they want to remain independent.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's Techland. Only question would be if Microsoft were to pay Square Enix for the publishing rights to Dying Light 2.

If I had to guess though, im going with Moon Studios.

Isn't Techland self publishing?

 

[KAZme]

ASOBO was epic. Just look at a plagues tale. One of the best looking games this gen.
But I think it's not happening. It's a typo.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Square Enix has the publishing rights for the NA version. DL 2 was also on Square's E3 2019 showcase. Also, while im not 100% sure, Techland may have shutdown their publishing arm.

 

[ZywyPL]

16 studios? That's a lot of Halos, Gears and Forzas.

 

[Pallas]

Probably a typo? I imagine if Microsoft made an acquisition we would have known about it, or at the very least Jez would have. That twitter post pretty much indicates they stealth acquired a studio which hasn't been their style lately.

Imagine actually listening to the garbage PR man Phil spews.

Imagine posting nothing constructive to the conversation and instead shitposts.

Doesn't change the fact that Ol Philly is paid to spew garbage and make retards believe him.

Go make a thread about it then.

 

[SaltyMcSalt]

Off the top of my head, for next gen we've seen teasers for Halo Infinite, Hellblade 2, Everwild and Project Mara. That's 4 more 1st party games than we've seen from Sony.

That's just 1 of 4 narrative singleplayer 3rd person action adventure and we all know that only those matter. Better make it 16 of 16.

 

[Virex]

They bought Hellpoint Dev.

 

[THE DUCK]

I think it would be huge if rare delivered an AAA new perfect dark on series x.

 

[Ar¢tos]

I think Platinum is under china's money tentacles now (Tencent or NetEase). I read something about them moving to self publishing.
From Software is not independent, so that one can be removed from the list too.

 

[nikolino840]

I was thinking while playing Ori WotW that Xbox really needs to buy Moon and make Ori their Mascot. Moon Studios would be an outstanding acquisition.

Don't think Moon .. they are working at a multiplatform arpg and don't have a real studio

Probably a typo

 

[SuperLupeRap]

Its impressive how Microsoft acquired all these studios. Yet have no Xbox Series X exclusives coming in the next two years.

Correction. I forgot, they abandoned console exclusives.

Lame.

 

[GymWolf]

And now we wait for their games reveal to see if these acquisition were worthy.

 

[DonJorginho]

I am guessing it will be Asobo Studios, which would be a great buy for Microsoft.

 

[OrionNebula]

If true I am going with Asobo Studio.

That would be a great acquisition for MS. Asobo Studio can definitely make a nice story-driven game, and having more financial/manpower back up would probably do wonders for them

My first thought was more for Techland, though

dying light 2 with M money behind would be neat.

 

[darkinstinct]

Asobo is an easy guess because of Flight Simulator.

 

[PocoJoe]

I'm still super sceptical if they can output variety of great games.

Gears of war = fucking boring "hey lets wank behind these covers and shoot bastards"

Forza = hey lets drive around

Halo = hey lets be space soldiers but it takes a time machine to get the next sequel before we die

MS is kind of like Nintendo, they have few genres/series and if gamer doesnt like em, the rest they are offering arent enough.

Nintendo offers shitty ass old copy&pasted mario/whatever games that are boring unless you are even more autistic than me, and like to collect 30000000000 pieces of marios underwear.

But I'm less sceptical of MS than nintendo, nintendo is lost cause and wont become a real modern gaming company ever again.

I have never considered to buy xbox until they are 20e on flee market, so this is first time that they even do something that could give 0,5% chance to turn heads of people like me, so that is something I guess

Yeah, I'd rather take Last of Us 2, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, God of War Next, Gran Turismo 8, Dreams 2. Screw Microsoft and all their sequels.

 

[MagnesG]

They need to diversify the portfolio more though.

 

[TBiddy]

*goes on to list 3 franchises from 4 of the (soon to be) 16 studios*

 

[cireza]

Stop stacking studios that make the same kind of Western games already. We all know what kind of exclusives are lacking on Xbox.

 

[OrionNebula]

dying light 2 with M money behind would be neat.

Well, at this point a PS4 version is confirmed, so there's little hope MS would invest much in this, but it could be for some exclusive dlc for DL2, or for any game from Techland moving forward after that (not unlike Obsidian's The Outer Worlds)

It's great because as of today the green team and the blue team are starting to really show their cards, and you can bet your last dollar they will continuously and heavily trying to one-up each other until launch, so anything is possible at this point

From a gamer's perspective, today is the start of an exciting time

 

[EverydayBeast]

A well balanced game catalog deserves a look.

 

[Bernkastel]

Itagaki, White Owl, Asobo, Moon, Bloober Team or Astronauts.

They better not have Remedy, Platinum Games, Kojima, or Ready at Dawn

Theres more chances of MS acquiring Sony then the other way around. Ready at Dawn is also a pssibility, they have nothing to do with Sony now.

 

[Bernkastel]

Thats nice but where are the games?

Halo Infinite, Hellblade II, Project Mara, Flight Simulator and Everwild, theres more from the other studios acquired by MS. Where are the PS5 games from Sony?

 

[Bernkastel]

Obsidian waas bought and now they're making "grounded" a game makes fortnite look graphically intensive.

Grounded is made by 18 people and was in works before the aquisition(like Ninja Theory's Bleeding Edge) after they finished Dreadfire. They are making a fantasy based RPG headed by Chris Parker now.

Obsidian Entertainment: Short Summary on current Projects

A lot more details and some certainity about Obsidians upcoming projects has been released recently, so I thought I'll sum them up. First up: Outer Worlds DLC/ Outer Worlds 2 - As of December 2019 Outer Worlds DLC has been confirmed. Outer Worlds 2 not as of yet...

[Bernkastel]

Imagine actually listening to the garbage PR man Phil spews.

ANOTHER Halo, angsty cringey ginger womeme, some artsy fartsy trash, another game about muh vagina, muh mental health its so hard being a womeme. Epic. Amazing games. Feel free to complain about Snoy when they actually reveal their console.

This proves that microsoft is better than sony

Doesn't change the fact that Ol Philly is paid to spew garbage and make retards believe him.

So, you are telling me to not to listen your PR speaks. These template posts look like you are paid to spew garbage about Phil.

 

[jorgejjvr]

The more the merrier

 

[Bernkastel]

16 studios? That's a lot of Halos, Gears and Forzas.

This is probably one of the worst low effort bait posts I have seen. There is a huge fanbase behind Halo who are excited for Halo Infinite(same for Forza, no one wants these franchise to disappear). They have shown Hellblade II and Project Mara from Ninja Theory. Rare is making Everwild. Apart from that

• Playground Games second studio is making a big budget RPG.
• Obsidian and InXile are also working on AAA RPG projects
• Ninja Theory is creating a second studio in Cambridge
• Perfect Dark rumours, probably by Coalition
• Whatever Initiative is making. Probably this

• Jeff Strain(head of Undead Labs) is creating a second studio in New Orleans. They also hire many ex-ArenaNet dev after they were fired because NCSoft wanted to focus on mobile.
• Compuulsion Games next project will be AAA with full Microsoft budget

And now there are new studio rumours.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

ASOBO was epic. Just look at a plagues tale. One of the best looking games this gen.
But I think it's not happening. It's a typo.

i really enjoyed a plagues tale. got a little weird at the end compared to beginning, but overall i thought it was excellent.

 

[VAL0R]

I was thinking while playing Ori WotW that Xbox really needs to buy Moon and make Ori their Mascot. Moon Studios would be an outstanding acquisition.

I'm pretty sure MS owns the Ori IP even though they don't own Moon. And yes, they should 100% put Ori front and center as their adorable family-friendly mascot.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Doom Eternal to gamepass?

Hmm.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Doom Eternal to gamepass?

Hmm.

I can see that happening but later on

 

[Bernkastel]

Fake.

Welcome to St Albans House - Playground Games RPG studio

She left Playground Games for Ubisoft, a year later she decided she is coming back🤷. Maybe Is a member of playground spy section PG6

www.neogaf.com

Also, its too soon to show Compulsion project.

 

[Mistershine.]

Conker is part of rare replay and therefore already on Gamepass...

 

[Appleprosy]

I'd buy their new X if they do actually have non-shitty, for the love of God, physical releases. The current X was my multi-platform system of choice.

 

[Hendrick's]

The lighting is fantastic.

 

[Camreezie]

Techland would be a good get for MS. Have they actually released any games from this new wave of acquisitions yet? Moon Studios they already own right , so it wouldn't be them?

 

[Ten_Fold]

Wonder if they gonna put out another mistwalker studio game, I know people hated blue dragon, but it was fun when I was younger for sure, and lost odyssey is better than anything square enix has put out besides ff14 imo.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Just give us a new Conker game.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Not the og xbox remake!

I liked blue dragon more than lost odyssey. Wtf do i always like shit everyone else hates lol.

 

[DoctaThompson]

Just give us a new Conker game.

Including all the crude humor! No SJW shit

I don't think it's that crude, just British.
