To think that this time last year Microsoft had 8 1st party studios. If Ensemble is closed then that brings them down to 5 including Xbox Live Productions.

Bungie (Became Independent)
Carbonated Games (Dissolved)
Ensemble Studios (Rumored to be closing)
FASA Interactive (Closed)
Lionhead Studios
Rare
Turn 10 Studios
Wingnut Interactive

This combined with Bizzare Creations getting eaten up by Activision Blizzard as well as BioWare by Electronic Arts does not bode well for Microsoft's game division in the future.

Rare's also rumored to be closing soon after BK's release.

 

 

Where did you hear that? It's obviously untrue. Rare's already expressed interest in continuing the Banjo series after their next couple projects which are new IPs.

oops sorry. It was more along the lines of them leaving Microsoft not them closing down sorry.

 

Bullshit.
