I don’t believe in these kind of statements for “small” studio announcements we should always have announcements at events. For big publishers it’s announced on Twitter and Xbox Wire Blog.
I’m not talking about any statements, I’m talking about history - Matt Booty was literally at the 2020 show and didn’t announce any acquisitions. That is what I’m talking about.

Damn boys, this was Xbox at near peak of their possible best. Xbox was there, Bethesda was there and Activision Blizzard was even there. All of these big games like Forza, Starfield, and Diablo and the showcase still felt kind of mid.
Personally, I had biggest reactions to Persona, Team Ninja’s game, and the Kojima announcement. There were standouts like Diablo, OW2 and Starfield but the showcase felt slow/lacking for me.
Changing my acquisition wishlist from Sega to Capcom. Even with Sega acquired I feel like these events wouldn’t be that much better but Sony’s small showcase was hype just with RE4 and SF6.
This not the topic for that.
Really discussing previous acquisitions effects and new ones shouldn’t be discussed here? Guess it’s all being consolidated tot he showcase threads.
This is strictly about acquisitions.
After seeing plague tale 2 I will say it again I want Asobo .

In terms of studios I agree!

Asobo with Focus Home Interactive absolutely!

Dontnod.

IO Interactive

Playtonic
Hopefully Crystal Dynamics will still join Xbox someday (yes I know Embracer now own them). IMO this was a gigantic loss for Xbox, they could have had another cinematic studio like Ninja Theory (There’s not many of these studios left).
I would have previously said Remedy too but will wait to see what there next few games are like.

NetherRealm absolutely.
Creative Assembly is SEGA right?
From a publisher perspective its still SEGA, Capcom and T2 for me.
This thread is a load of nonsense, lol
Not creative assembly sorry, I forgot their name. The team who is making halo battle royal and works on CoD maps

Ah Certain Affinity. Until they can prove themselves outside of a support studio setting I’m not so sure.
Talking of NeverRealm WB has so many great studios like Rocksteady, Monolith and TT Games. Just can’t see them ever leaving WB Games (despite the rumours).
haha i agree

I agree with all of these (well maybe other than IO but that’s only cause I haven’t played their games to agree or disagree). Don’t Nod putting out episodic content on game pass and Playtonic having the option to work on classic rare franchises in particular would be excellent.
