After Buying Up Studios, Xbox Says It Doesn't Have The Resources To Run Them

After shutting down multiple Bethesda studios, Xbox and Bethesda leadership held a town hall meeting with staff to discuss the closures, explaining that the company’s studios had been spread too thin and that it wanted to focus on fewer projects moving forward. On May 7, Xbox announced that it was closing three studios—Tango Gameworks , Arkane Austin , and Alpha Dog Games —with a fourth support studio, Roundhouse Studios, being absorbed by the team behind Elder Scrolls Online.

Reportedly both Tango and Arkane Austin had pitched games to work on next, including a Hi-Fi Rush sequel and possibly a new Dishonored or similar single-player immersive sim-like game. Those likely won’t happen. Braff allegedly said that she hoped the closing of some studios would allow Bethesda/Zenimax to focus on fewer projects in the future.
