Xbox’s massive restructuring continues, and we’re starting to get a much clearer picture of what the company could look like when it’s finished.New reporting points to another 268 reductions as Xbox reorganizes its business, with major changes involving Activision, Bethesda, Halo Studios, Obsidian, Playground Games, Turn 10 and more.Perhaps the biggest change: Activision is reportedly taking responsibility for major Xbox franchises including Halo, Sea of Thieves and Age of Empires, while Halo Studios transitions into more of a support role. A new Halo game is already in development.Elsewhere, Playground Games and Turn 10 are reportedly being combined, Bethesda is taking on additional teams and projects, and questions remain around the futures of Undead Labs, Ninja Theory and Arkane.In this video I break down everything we know about the latest Xbox restructuring, what it means for Halo and Forza, and what Xbox could look like once the reset is complete.#xbox #halo #activision #microsoft #xboxgamestudios #forza #gamingnews

Bungie just made a massive announcement about the future of Destiny. After previously announcing that Monuments of Triumph would be the final content update for Destiny 2, Bungie now says “we are not done with Destiny” and is beginning work to restore vaulted Destiny 2 campaigns, destinations, and raids.The studio says Destiny is “foundational” to Bungie’s future and that restoring the game’s lost content is only the first step toward new Destiny stories and games. Bungie also acknowledged that vaulting content damaged player trust and says bringing it back will require updating lighting, encounters, enemies, and underlying systems rather than simply restoring old files.There’s also a major Marathon pivot happening. Bungie says Marathon didn’t reach as many players as it hoped and will evolve beyond its original genre constraints, including permanent PvE, PvP and PvPvE experiences. Its Symbiosis update arrives December 8 with permanent PvE, a social space, TDM experiment and more.#Destiny2 #Destiny #Bungie #Marathon #GamingNews

I finally jumped into Control Resonant, and after my first hour, the combat has completely sold me.I never played the original Control, but Resonant includes a story catch-up and so far I’ve had no problem jumping into this world. The combat already feels deep, with different abilities, builds, upgrade paths, aerial movement, and some really creative boss encounters.The visuals are also incredibly striking, and I’m already interested in where the story between the main character and his sister is going.This is only a first impressions video after my opening hours with the game, but Control Resonant is absolutely staying on my radar.#ControlResonant #Control #RemedyEntertainment

Silent Hill: Townfall is finally here, and I spent my first hour getting a feel for its first-person horror, puzzle design, and 1996 setting.So far, I’m really liking how involved exploration feels. Searching drawers, using pay phones, and tracking down actual puzzle clues makes the environment feel more important than simply guessing your way through solutions.There are some performance issues I noticed early on, but this is only a review in progress after about an hour of playtime.#SilentHillTownfall #SilentHill #Gaming
