I wonder what exactly inXile delivered that was so compelling? If his project is indeed Cobalt, they already delivered a vertical slice demo of it to Xbox leadership back in October, Matt Booty mentioned that in an early November interview. This tweet makes it sound like their team just finished something major right before Christmas vacation in early December. I wonder, could it have been a reveal trailer for this rumored early 2023 Xbox show? If so, it would mean that Xbox has abandoned that whole "next 12 months games only" thing from E3, as even though Cobalt was originally aiming for a 2023 release internally, multiple insiders have said they believe it will be pushed into 2024 or possibly even 2025. 2024 or 2025 makes alot more sense than 2023 to me, Cobalt is said to be inXile's first AAA game and yet inXile is only at 114 devs on LinkedIn currently, split between 2 projects, and the new studio they built in Tustin 2 years ago has room for 150+ devs, while their New Orleans studio has room for probably 20-25 devs, so they clearly still have lots of expansion ahead of them before they can deliver a proper AAA game, unless Xbox has lots of support studios assisting them.
