Salah satu studio yang berjasa membesarkan nama Fable, Lionhead Studios ditutup oleh Microsoft. Apa sebabnya?
Kabar yang cukup menyedihkan datang dari Microsoft semalam, 7 Maret 2016 WIB. Dalam pernyataan resmi yang dirilis, Microsoft mengkonfirmasikan bahwa studio pengembang Fable Legends, Lionhead Studios ditutup. Akibatnya, game yang kini masih memasuki fase beta ini kabarnya akan dibatalkan perilisannya, alias hanya akan sampai fase beta saja. Microsoft mengungkapkan ada banyak pertimbangan yang harus mereka ambil atas keputusan yang menurut mereka cukup berat ini dan juga terkesan tiba-tiba ini. Saat ini,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 – 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. 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 today’s 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.
