I need to spend more time exploring🦋 different games rather than relying on the hype train all the ti🦄me.
While the industry is still reeling from this, it seems developers at ZeniMax Online were shocked to learn of the MMO's cancellation, according to . While news of the mass layoffs was circulated in advance, it seems the studio devs thought they might be safe as Xbox boss Phil Spencer loved the g♈ame. Ultimately, it didn't matter.
ZeniMax Online's MMO Was Cancelled Despite Phil Spencer Loving It
Project Blackbird, as it was called, started development in 2018 as a third-person shooter, with a staff of 300 devs. It incorporated ag𒀰ile movement and acrobatics with a focus on maneuverability. According to sources, the project was a hit with the top brass even in early stages, so everyone was surprised that it was c🍒ancelled.
Sources also🦄 said that Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer loved the game so much that during a demo in March, Xbox Games Studios head Matt Booty had to grab the controller out of his hands, as he was getting them late for a meeting. Obviously, the devs at ZeniMax Online saw this as a positive sign, so the heartbreak was even more tragic when their project got cancelled.
