Microsoft shutdown Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin Studios
Microsoft shutdown two companies, Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, which were under Bethesda. Apart from these two studios, Alpha Dog studio, which was the developer of Mighty Doom and Roundhouse Games, was also closed. As a result of these shutdowns, the promised Redfall game update was also canceled.
Also, Shinji Mikami, the founder of Tango Gameworks studio, also found this incident very sad. But the officials of Microsoft, Mr. Matt Booty, head of xbox studios, and Ms. Jill Braff, head of ZeniMax studios, in their conversation with xbox employees, have considered the reason for the closure of Tango Gameworks to be Shinji Mikami's separation from this studio.
Mr. John Johanas, director of Tango Gameworks studio and Hi-Fi Rush game, retweeted the news of the studio's closure and said:
So our work ends like this. Unfortunately, my language is unable to describe my situation. Thank you to those who have supported us over the years.
Mr. Kyle Rowley, Director of Remedy Studio:

The director of the Marvel's Blade game called the closure of the studios under Microsoft's group terrible and reminded the managers of this industry that the video game industry is an industry involved in entertainment and culture and called them to support the artists. It is also mentioned that with the support of the studios, they will be able to make good and proud games.
