Xbox recently announced the closure of multiple studios including Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, leading to many questions in regards to what exactly the Xbox Strategy is moving forward. While Redfall was far from a big success, Arkane has a history of strong single player titles they were likely going to revisit, while Tango Gameworks was Xbox's only Japanese studio and is responsible for one of their best received games of the past decade: HiFi Rush. Is Xbox abandoning these developers in favor of focusing on big hit guaranteed sellers like Call of Duty? And what does this mean for all the studios with something to show at their upcoming Xbox Summer Showcase? Some thoughts.
