I just learned that Ninja Theory, the studio behind Hellblade, has begun laying off staff. This news comes right after Xbox announced that it might face closure. It's disheartening to see a company I admire go through such tough times. Some people in the community are speculating about the direction of Hellblade 2, suggesting that the high budget and artistic approach might not align with what the market wants. They believe a more action-oriented game, similar to God of War (2018), would have been a better choice. It seems like Microsoft hasn't provided enough oversight, leading to this situation. I'm worried about the future of the studio and the impact on the team.
