Cita:Today, I have some difficult changes to announce that affect some of our Microsoft Studios teams and projects in the UK and Denmark.

After much consideration we have decided to cease development on Fable Legends, and are in discussions with employees about the proposed closure of Lionhead Studios in the UK. Additionally, we will close Press Play Studios in Denmark, and sunset development on Project Knoxville.

These have been tough decisions and we have not made them lightly, nor are they a reflection on these development teams ÔÇô we are incredibly fortunate to have the talent, creativity and commitment of the people at these studios. The Lionhead Studios team has delighted millions of fans with the Fable series over the past decade. Press Play imbued the industry with a unique creative spirit behind games like Max: The Curse of Brotherhood and Kalimba, which both captured passionate fans. These changes are taking effect as Microsoft Studios continues to focus its investment and development on the games and franchises that fans find most exciting and want to play.

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 theyÔÇÖre 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.

We have nothing but heart-felt thanks for the members of Lionhead and Press Play for their contributions to Xbox and gaming. We are committed to working closely with those affected by todayÔÇÖs news to find them new opportunities at Xbox, or partnering with the broader development community to help place them in jobs elsewhere in the games industry should they desire.

Sorpresón negativo. Algo ha tenido que pasar cuando le quedaba poco para salir.

? Pero si le quedaba nada para salir a la venta ...

No es que vaya a echar de menos a un Fable, pero a mí también me extraña por lo que comentáis, tenían el juego muy avanzado como para tirarlo a la basura sin que haya alguna razón de mucho peso.

Una lástima por los trabajadores de los estudios implicados.

Joder, Lionhead, menudo mazazo.

Me acabo de quedar anonadado. Como bien decís, le quedaba nada para salir, y además Lionhead era un estudio con una larga trayectoria.

¿Pero qué coño?

Pero si ayer me llegó un correo de la beta para que probáramos los desafíos diarios

Y Lionhead no hace ni tres días que publicaba algo para un evento próximo.

Tampoco olvidemos a Spencer: Nunca cancelaremos un juego.

Madre mía el circo de MS en los últimos tiempos, vaya bomba de 2016.

MS tiene que estar sufriendo una reestructuración interna que escapa al control de Phil Spencer, y este sólo tiene que adaptarse.

Me da a mi que Xbox One es la última consola de MS, cada día estoy más seguro de ello.
