It’s been a rocky time for developers at Microsoft, which laid off about 4% of its workforce–translating to about 9,000 lost jobs–in July. This includes deep cuts at a number of gaming studios under the Xbox banner, including teams like Blizzard, Rare, Turn 10, and more. As part of these layoffs, at least one studio, The Initiative, has been shut down and multiple projects, like an unannounced MMO from ZeniMax Online Studios, have been canceled.
The slow trickle of news from the layoffs, including the depth of many of the cuts, has left uncertainty about upcoming projects from a number of the affected studios. While Xbox leadership has reportedly clarified that every title shown at its most recent showcase is “safe,” there are still other games that didn’t appear and are worth checking in on. To that end, we’re cataloging all of Xbox’s announced and/or rumored titles that appear to still be in development following its most recent cuts.
This list has been updated as of August 5, which removed Grounded 2 (which is out now) and added information about the upcoming Indiana Jones DLC, The Order of Giants.
