World's Edge reportedly lost nearly half of its staff and a new game project as Microsoft restructures parts of Xbox and moves the studio under Activision, Rock Paper Shotgun reports.
An unnamed but verified creative director posted on industry forum ResetEra saying 'just under half' of the studio's staff were let go during the transfer, and that a new in-development project was cancelled. The post underpins the report.
World's Edge is the studio that effectively manages the Age of Empires series, and the report places these cuts within Microsoft's wider Xbox consolidation and job cuts programme.
