"I'm still blown away by the amount of talent": Hellblade devs Ninja Theory face closure after Microsoft fail to reach a deal with buyers
Microsoft is proposing to close Ninja Theory after failing to find a buyer for the studio, which was put up for sale earlier this year as part of broader Xbox layoffs. While Undead Labs was successfully sold, two separate agreements for Ninja Theory fell through, leading to this proposed closure. Former and current developers have expressed devastation and respect for the studio's talent, lamenting the potential loss of future projects.
