The study led by Tim Schafer has been a part of Xbox Game Studios since last year 2019, but its edition stamp remains in limbo.
Double Fine Productions will no longer publish video games. At least that is hinted at in a message posted by Boneloaf, the creators of Gang Beasts. These developers were working with Tim Schafer's company to publish their video games, but their paths have been separated by the agreement between Double Fine and Microsoft. Always according to these developers, Double Fine Presents will pass to a better life.
“We love Double Fine, they have been fantastically good to us. What Tim and his company have built is quite wonderful, but with Double Fine Presents stepping back from Xbox Game Studios' acquisition of Double Fine last year, we think it's good for Boneloaf to sustain us with our own … legs and publish Gang Beasts by ourselves ”, they explain.

Boneloaf has been grateful for the experience as they have provided advice and support. "They have become friends and mentors," they admit. Now, those responsible for projects like Brütal Legend or Psychonauts 2 will follow a different path alongside other large Microsoft studios. Those of Redmond have drawn up an expansion strategy that has allowed them to strengthen their network of internal studies. The intention is to nurture your Xbox platform with new content beyond its usual sagas.
Double Fine Productions is just one of the new studios that Microsoft has added to Xbox Game Studios. Ninja Theory, the creators of Heavenly Sword and DMC, work on Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, as well as Project: Mara. After marketing Bleeding Edge, they will focus on those new jobs. Obsidian Entertainment, meanwhile, develops Grounded, a survival game that prepares your early access. At the same time, it will create more content for The Outer Worlds. Another of the newly bought studios is InXile Entertainment (Wasteland 3), which has confirmed a new project for the new generation that will use Unreal Engine 5.
