The Black & White studio, based in Guildford, UK, has ceased development on Fable Legends and will shutter in the near future. “These have been tough decisions and we have not made them lightly, nor are they a reflection on these development teams – we are incredibly fortunate to have the talent, creativity and commitment of the people at these studios,” said Microsoft Studios Europe general manager Hanno Lemke. “I speak for all of Xbox when I say that despite this news, we remain committed to the development communities in the UK and Europe, and Xbox will continue to support new IP and originality in the games we offer on our platforms, whether they’re AAA blockbusters like Quantum Break from Remedy, adventurous new IPs like Sea of Thieves from Rare, or unique new creations from independent developers like Moon Studios with Ori.”[/quote] :(

  • At a time when Microsoft needs compelling software (read: games) in order to sell more units of hardware (read: Xbox), the obvious move is to shut down one of their few first party developers. Genius. Really though, I can't say I'm surprised.
