MS opens new game studio, working on AAA narrative focused game

ACTIVISION ANNOUNCES ELSEWHERE ENTERTAINMENT, NEW STUDIO FORMED TO DEVELOP ALL-NEW FRANCHISE

Headquartered in Poland, the new studio team is hard at work creating a brand new narrative-based IP

Activision has formed an all-new internal studio, Elsewhere Entertainment. The new team, headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, with additional resources in the U.S., is exclusively focused on creating a new narrative-based and genre-defining AAA franchise.

Built from the ground up, Elsewhere Entertainment is a premier and standalone studio dedicated to establishing an environment that inspires bold and diverse ideas. The team’s underlying mission encourages everyone to explore and collaborate creatively to craft a franchise with an enduring legacy that resonates far beyond games.

The talented team at Elsewhere Entertainment consists of a collection of storytelling experts whose credits include The Last of Us, Uncharted, The Witcher, Cyberpunk, Destiny, Tom Clancy’s The Division, and Far Cry.

Does this sound good to you? Will this type of game fit well with the Xbox player base? When do you think a new studio will bear fruit? Would you rather have kept some of the studios that were closed?

The game credits sound good to me and I will be looking forward to hearing about their projects.

Poland is making some fantastic games, so color me intrigued.

i guess @loudheadphones can stop crying about Xbox since they opened a new studio..

Hmm bet this doesn't get much traction in this forum it is to positive news about MS

Nice change of pace. Hopefully, they put something out.

As long as Elsewhere Entertainment makes something unique fun game, I'll be very impressed how it plays out in the end. Wish them the best of luck.

This Elsewhere Entertainment will be working elsewhere after their first game releases🤡

That is good news. Hopefully they can hire some of the offloaded folks.

Hmmmm. Methinks Xbox opening a new studio might not get the same coverage and hysteria as when they closed studios.

Will they even be allowed to release a game or will the project just be cancelled and the studio shut down?

MS has shown that they don't care about talent. They gonna fuk you anyway.

somehow, opening a new studio will still equate to "Xbox is doomed"..

Judgment Day!

Oh wait.... 😅

Anyway I’m very interested in seeing what they produce.

Sorry for letting everyone down

I'm so excited.

So they closed studios that make actual good video games to open a move-game studio?

The collection of talent sounds promising though. I guess we'll see what they cook up in 5-7 years

Xbox for the players

And I just can't hide it.

yup see you in 2034

@girlusocrazy: thanks for posting.

The number 1 reason for coming here as always been to get news.

Winding people up is 2nd ro that.

Those are the words that MS needs to be saying right now.

Yeah get rid of political pushing agenda people.

It is only political to broken people like you.🤭

yeah ok and the rest of millions that see what's really going on.

There are millions of stupid people and I don't need to indicate who they are.🙃

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE LIBRIAL. lets just call all of them all stupid people.

I am glad you self identified with the millions of stupid people.🤭

Yeah at least I know what I am. can't even choose male of female any more. starting putting pronouns in our games now.

but that not pushing this agenda right?

"narrative focused"

😂

You do know that I, you, he, she,it they, them are pronouns right?🤔 And you are arguing the use of these pronouns in games is new...😂

This thread is becoming a bit narrative focused 😒

So no advancement after AAAA and only AAA? I'm disappointed. At this time, they should be talking about AAAAA.

One of the As they purchase is being used in ABK, thus the downgrade from AAAA to AAA.🙃

They’ll do well then they’ll close em.

Movie game to taunt cows 😁 inb4 cow begging for this game - PlayStaiton has no games 😎

@gifford38: Let it go Gifford, it ain't worth it😔

@Pedro: so system wars Pedro thinks your stupid if.

1. You support the American flag and our country

2. Think there is only 2 genders

3. Against puberty blockers

4. Stand for this country.

5. Believe in God

6. Right to bare arms

7. Being a patriot.

8. Support testosterone men.

9. Support females

10. 1 national anthem

All these people are stupid according to Pedro

@Pedro: so tell me what games use him her they like starfield. Male or female are the 2 choice for ever.

Don't worry. It will be closed soon enough

@gifford38: All you are doing right now is validating my implication.🤷‍♂️

Translated

MS and Sony are as dumb as each other this gen. I read Sony cancelled a game they were funding, the studio closed and then Sony hired most of the team to form a new studio, dumb af right.

And here we have MS closing 4 studios (did Phil even come out and make a statement on that yet or has he been hiding?) Only to create a new one.

Seriously both companies are dumb af 🤦‍♂️

@gifford38: Not to get political or anything but you are stupid if you support number 6 on your list.

i guess you can start back crying again once it's closed.. until then, you can stop the whining and fake outrage..

dude, it's video games.. we are adults on the internet arguing about who has the best toy..

it's not that serious..

Looks like you've learned NOTHING from a The Initiative situation

PlayStation opened a new studio this year after a huge layoff.. according to you, all is forgiven..

keep that same energy..

The Initiative is the same situation as with that MS new studio. Look like you, Xbots, haven't learn anything.

Already want to create a thread about their closure five years in advance. Why wait, anyways.
