Microsoft Games Studios has confirmed the official release date of the forthcoming The Gunstringer, an Xbox 360 Kinect exclusive title. Developed by Twisted Pixel and originally intended for the Xbox LIVE Arcade, The Gunstringer will now be made available as a retail boxed product. What's more, it has today been confirmed that the game will include Fruit Ninja Kinect for no additional cost.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.
"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins.

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.
i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.
but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.
"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"
Forza and Starfield next?
In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year
“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"
With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.
I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.
I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.
Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄
I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige
/S it's beyond a joke right now
That's pretty cool. The bad part is Fruit Ninja comes out on it's own before Gunstringer. So I guess I'll have a second copy as well.
Definitely getting some solid Kinect titles pumping out now!
What an awesome bonus! Really looking forward to this one.
Actually ...this kinda pisses me off. MS is offering up Fruit Ninja for Summer of Arcade ...which if you buy all you get Crimson Alliance free..i plan on that as I want CA.
So now they offer up Fruit Ninja later on as a throw in for Gunstringer? Why not package in a different good game that needs the sales help... like Child of Eden!
