Since the beginning of this year, Microsoft has made up for the development of the first-party monopoly, and many small and medium-sized development groups have been acquired as the first-party development team of Xbox. So what are the current developments of these new entrants? The following is a summary of all the first-party development groups of Xbox based on published news or gossip
343 Industries
Known items: “Halo: Unlimited”.
“Halo: Unlimited” may also be called “Halo 6”, officially unveiled at the E3 2018 exhibitions. This work will use the new image engine Slipspace, which does not confirm the time of 2019 like other E3 works. Window, so some people believe that it is the next generation Xbox host synchronization starter works, may be released in the fall of 2020, and perhaps also on the Xbox One
The Coalition.
Known Project: “War Machine 5”.
This is the second orthodox sequel to the Coalition studio after taking over the War Machine series from Epic. The “Gears of War” in the English title is now only “Gears”. The information announced at the E3 2018 exhibition will confirm the end of the 2016 “War Machine 4” story. This work should be the elegy of Xbox One at the end of the generation, and may later be the ultimate version for the next generation Xbox
Playground Games
The rumor project: The “Fables of the Fables” project restarted, “Extreme Racing: Horizon 5”.
Playground has always had a close relationship with Microsoft. They created the Extreme Racing: Horizon series and have finally become a family member of Microsoft. There are rumors that they are in charge of the restart of the project of “Fables”. Perhaps their experience in open world works can be fully applied. As for “Extreme Racing: Horizon 5”, it should be the first masterpiece of the next generation Xbox. Please fasten your seat belt!
Turn 10 Studios.
The rumor item: “Forza Motorsport 8”.
In fact, we don’t know what Turn 10 is doing. However, they are specializing in the development of “Extreme Racing”, so as expected, they are definitely in the “Forza Motorsport 8”, but the Turn 10 team said that they will continue to support “Forza Motorsport 7” if the new game will be If they are released next year, they generally will not make such a statement. Therefore, “Forza Motorsport 8” will break the practice of launching the next year and escort for the next generation, so that Playground can make a “Fable”. The “Extreme Racing” series is a serious driving simulation game. Although the previous work has gone through some detours due to micro-transactions, and it also faces the competition of “Extreme Racing: Horizon” on the same platform, there is no doubt that Extreme Racing 8 is still carrying the expectations of many players
Ninja Theory
Project: Unknown.
They developed and released “Hell Blade: Saina’s Sacrifice” by their own efforts. It is one of the few medium-sized independent development groups that survived. The end of Microsoft’s appreciation is also a good ending. However, their next project should not be “Hell Blade 2”, hoping to be the original innovative IP of the next generation Xbox
Rare Ltd.
Known items: “The Sea of Thieves” “Ninja Frog”.
Rare Studio is developing two published projects, namely The Sea of Thieves and The Ninja Frog. Among them, “The Sea of Thieves” is constantly updated to add new game content. The Ninja Frog is only supervised by Rare. It’s possible that they are still secretly developing other projects, but I don’t know if they will look at the new IP or pick up the previous classics. The classic brands in their hands include “Ban Zhu Xiong”, “Long Live Baby”, “Squirrel Wars” and “Perfect Darkness”
