Lionhead might not be the only studio Microsoft canned: all the Kinect teams look dead

The sudden announcement yesterday that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft was shutting Lionhead came as a surprise to everyone, not least to Lionhea🃏d itself which was apparently completely unaware as little as a few hours before. 🔴It wasn't the only developer affected though, with Max: The Curse of Brotherhood studio Press Play also having a pillow gently pressed to its face.

However, as noted by ,😼 it looks like that's not the end of it. The looked like on ꦓMarch the 4th:

Today, it looks like this:

The missing names include the following:

BigPark - a Canadian developer responsible for Kinect Games
[Fun]tion studios - a 'medium size incubation team' working on Kinect and, more recently, Hololens stuff.
Good Science - another Kinect studio
Leap Experience Pioneers - also known as LXP, another studio working on Kinect
SOTA - otherwise known as ✱State Of The Art wꦜith no known projects

The key thing is that these are all in-house teams established almost simultaneously by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft around the end of 2014. At the time it was seen by many as a push by the publisher ꦿto create a stronger first party presence. None of these studios seems to have anything to their names however other than a few Kinect projects, if🔜 anything, and it looks like that particular idea is now over.

Seen something newsworthy? Tell us!
