The company’s head of gaming department, Phil Spencer, confirmed at the Xbox E3 briefing earlier rumors that the company was acquiring Forza Horizon makers Playground Games. What took us by surprise was the acquisition of three other renowned studios: Undead Labs, makers of State of Decay; Ninja Theory, the folks behind Senua’s Sacrifice; and Compulsion Games, the developers of We Happy Few.

The Redmond based tech giant announced that they are adumbrating plans to create a studio in Santa Monica, California. It will be accomplished under the banner of The Initiative, which is an initiation of former Tomb Raider boss Darrell Gallagher. Presently, the studio is not developing any games. Rather, it said that its aim is to concentrate on ‘storytelling, world-building and creative exploration’. Once, this project is started, Microsoft will be a bit relaxed as it won’t have to live the failure caused by the failure to continue ScaleboundFable Legends and other promised first-party titles from previous years.
