Microsoft Cancels Major Game Projects and Shuts Down Studio
July 3, 2025 - 03:44
In a significant shift in its gaming strategy, Microsoft has decided to cancel two highly anticipated titles: the reboot of "Perfect Dark" and the fantasy adventure "Everwild." This decision comes alongside the closure of The Initiative, the studio responsible for the "Perfect Dark" reboot. The move reflects a broader reassessment of the company's gaming portfolio and development priorities.
The cancellation of these projects has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, as both titles were expected to deliver innovative gameplay and immersive storytelling. "Perfect Dark," a beloved classic, was poised for a modern revival, while "Everwild" had garnered attention for its enchanting visuals and unique world-building.
In addition to these high-profile cancellations, Microsoft is also halting development on several unannounced projects, signaling a potential shift in focus towards other titles and franchises. As the gaming landscape evolves, industry observers will be closely watching how this decision impacts Microsoft's future endeavors in the competitive gaming market.
