Hard to say, especially since Certain Affinity did the same more or less about recruitment. We don’t know because we only had rumor to based off of it. Nothing is official until said otherwise.

It hasn’t even got a name
Just that they are working on a fantasy project, maybe Xbox is still involved, maybe they aren’t but nothing about it suggests one way or the other

Zero reaction from Phil, Aaron, Xbox and etc on twitter. Maybe they’re not publishing it.
We dont’t know anything

We just gotta wait and see when IO officially announces the game.
This is my problem with insiders leaking game project names waaaaay too early, a lot can change. Or not. We don’t know.
Give it a couple of days and I’m sure Jez or Grubb will be able to confirm
To me it’s not really that weird though, MS love announcing all their games on big stages and if IOI needs to crank up recruitment speed this would be a way of doing it without spoiling a big reveal and MS isn’t in a position to be
-
Announcing something as they have no major show until E3 for reveals
-
They are likely avoiding CG trailers which is exactly what this would be

It’s just uncharacteristic of how Xbox has operated when it comes to game announcements. I get the feeling it’s not Xbox because of that. IOI just announced a new RPG and nobody at Xbox has said a peep after 40 minutes. No mention by IOI of it being a partnership with Xbox either. Also, if you’re recruiting for a AAA RPG having Xbox signal boost the announcement it would greatly help.
And so far, the projects that Jeff/Grubb reported on are indeed coming to fruition. In the case of the Pax-dei game, it was revealed by themselves that MS was no longer involved.
What Pax-dei game?
This is not a game announcement, it’s a recruiting piece.

It is a project that apparently involves the cloud and that MS would be publishing, if I’m not mistaken, it was revealed by one of them (Jez / Grubb) at the time, but soon after they themselves said that it would no longer be published by Microsoft, because developer got significant funds from other investors.
Yep. Xbox reacted to Indiana Jones game back then because it was an official announcement. But this isn’t.

Or like me, played the game but waited for discounts on the DLC which never happened. So I have half a game left to play which makes this new version something I’ll actually buy.

This is indeed the rpg project they were working on since they’ve updated all their hiring roles. It remains to be seen if it’s still under XGS though.

Maybe Xbox is winding down now that they will probably exit the console market. Publishing could be the first to go.

Someone made a good point about this I don’t know who posted it here but maybe we all should calm down when it comes to rumors and leaks because we are mad when it doesn’t end up being what we wanted to be I have a feeling maybe this partnership just didn’t work out With IO interactive and Microsoft but you never now we got a wait and see
Can’t really blame people for being upset, leakers putting stuff out there way before it’s ready will cause this stuff
But hopefully going forward it will let people take things with a grain of salt, won’t stop these people leaking things but it will kill their credibility in the long run

This is why leaking very early stuff is pointless. The coalition small projects got canned, project dragon could have changed scope and publishers. We are not sure if project belfry is even a thing.
