Looks like Jez is confirming that Undead Labs is indeed on the chopping block and that Game Pass deals are on hold. God damn it I'm tired of hearing about Amy Hood!!!
"Despite having trailers at the previous two showcases and a well-received alpha test which boasted thousands of sign ups, Microsoft is exploring selling off Undead Labs and potentially cancelling State of Decay 3 if it can't find a buyer for the team. Given that State of Decay 3 is nearly finished, looks spectacular, and has had multiple trailers — this is one of the most self-immolating ideas I've seen of Xbox since I started reporting on it over a decade ago.
The report comes from GamesBeat, which apparently confirms and coincides with information I received over the weekend. Indeed, Undead Labs seems to be among the studios Microsoft is looking to offload or shut down as part of its fiscal year end.
I'm told the cuts are being driven by Microsoft corporate CFO Amy Hood, who has demanded a variety of savings at Xbox to offset losses ... which were also a result of her previous 30% margin demands.
Microsoft has frozen discussions with third-parties for Xbox Game Pass deals (for now), and is exploring a range of studio closures, which could see Double Fine, Ninja Theory, Compulsion, and others shuttered if Microsoft can't find a buyer or pathway for them to go independent."
You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind
