💨 Abstract

Microsoft's recent layoffs have halted several game projects, including Everwild and an unannounced sci-fi shooter. The cuts affected around 4,000 employees within Xbox, with studios like Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, and others impacted. Notable cancellations include "Perfect Dark's reboot" and "Everwild" from Rare, alongside the shutdown of The Initiative. Several other unannounced games and projects have also likely been shelved.
