I remember reading they opened a new studio last year

If they are it’d probably be a small team on a small game, which I suppose I’d be all for.
Everybody getting new IPs
Edit: Apparently this is wrong, Grubb was talking about Coalition’s other game, not Undead Labs

I sense seething at Metacritic for highlighting another banger.

Looks like the rumor is false.

I was thinking the same thing. Motorsport is for sure further along and is only waiting on Starfield because it being a sim racer, needs to be a month’s highlight lest it get faded
Why doesn’t Microsoft work with Iron Galaxy again to make another Killer Instinct?

How big would a new IP from The Coalition end up being? Would an Army of Two style co-op TPS with like a 14-15 hour campaign and full weapon customization possibly be too much, are we thinking it might be smaller? No MP or secondary modes just a straight campaign.
Keits or whatever his name is, one of the lead guys for KI/IG has been asked a bunch about making a sequel and while they talk fondly about KI they seemed to imply they don;t have much interest in making a sequel
I dunno but I get the impression things didn’t end too well between them and MS but that’s just my interpretation
What if…it’s being done now…
But seriously, it could be more on IG than MS.
I quite enjoyed the double helix season one of killer instinct, i feel out of interest with fighting games for season two so didnt play much of Iron Galaxys work. What is the general consenus, did they do a good or bad job with Killer instinct
More than expected in a good way. There’s a documentary you can watch and see how IG managed to please the fans and more.

Well, they had a GaaS game called Rumbleverse that just died, so maybe it’s back on the cards now. Before that I suppose they were busy.

Microsoft should take the opportunity (from Rumbleverse’s closure) to acquire Iron Galaxy. It’s a talented studio that could bring good things, and not just for fighting games. Iron Galaxy worked with ABK on Crash and Spyro, and Rumbleverse was pretty good despite failing.
No, they just want to work on different things. Working on fighting games is a very involved process.

Ninja Theory should take note at the popularity of Hi-Fi Rush, they did a really good job with DMC: Devil May Cry and I feel like they are the right team to create a great smaller ambitious action game.
Hi-Fi Rush is probably my favorite game in Xbox’s entire lineup at the moment and I want to see more creative projects from all their studios. Obsidian’s Grounded was a good start, I hope we see some more cool stuff from Double Fine soon as well.
