Microsoft closes studios behind "Prey", "Redfall" and "Hi-Fi Rush"
The Bethesda studios Arkane, Tango Gameworks and Alpha Dog are being dissolved. The employees were informed by e-mail.
The third studio in the group is Alpha Dog. With "Mighty Doom", it has brought the cult shooter to the smartphone. The game is played from a bird's eye view and the Doomguy looks like a cuddly collector's toy - similar to those in the main game. The game will be released on 7 August.
Booty explains the move as follows: "We are making these tough decisions to create capacity for greater investment in other parts of our portfolio and to focus on our priority games," including the expansions to "Starfield" and "Fallout 76" as well as the new "Indiana Jones and The Great Circle".
The wave of redundancies in the games industry has already overtaken that of the previous year.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
