Lots of disinformation out there.
I'll clear it up.
Microsoft is laying off 9000 people today, 4% of its total work force.
Most of the cuts aren't in Xbox, but it seems Everwild, Perfect Dark, Zenimax IP "Blackbird" seem to be all dead. Microsoft hasn't commented on this part yet.
Xbox hardware however has no layoffs, and next gen continues as planned. Seems other studios largely avoided big cuts, but lots of global roles in marketing and customer service seem to have been outsourced, especially in Asia.
Perfect Dark / The Initiative is closed, fully confirmed. Alongside a bunch of other unannounced projects. Blade, State of Decay 3, OD, and even Contraband are safe it seems, but Perfect Dark, Everwild, and ZeniMax's new MMORPG are all done.
Microsoft says it has 40 other games in development, though.
In other news, Phil Spencer will be stepping down but not befire the next conaole launches.
