Well I guess we know where all that gamepass money is going right into a giant s labelled bucket
Microsoft is spending $70B on Activision. That doesn’t leave a lot left over for other AAA games.
I've really wanted to play A Short Hike and Airborne Kingdom for a while now so it's cool they've been added but yeah I don't see this exciting the masses
It looks like a third entry isn't happening soon.
Psychonauts 2 has been the studios most profitable release, despite being on Gamepass, and a third title is already open and on the table when the time comes.
They wanted to do a big, new IP release coming into the acquisition being they would have funding they wouldn't have otherwise. That was obviously greenlit.
He was always gonna make a new ip once MS bought them.
The correct dicision imo, comebk to P3 at a later date.
