The mysterious Microsoft study, which has signed staff in Santa Monica, Naughty Dog and Rockstar Games, among others, already has a presentation date.
The last interview with Matt Booty, head of Microsoft Studios, by the partners of Game Informer, has allowed us to know some more details about The Initiative, the mysterious Xbox studio of which, despite the continuous news about their signings and incorporations, we still know practically nothing. Booty has set a date for when we will leave the inopia and has ensured that throughout the next 12 months we will know what the developer has been working on since its foundation, back in 2018. Information that adds to what we met a few months ago , when it was confirmed that it already has a playable prototype of its first project.
The Initiative is based in California (United States) and has the figure of Darrell Gallagher in charge of the study. Gallagher, responsible for the rebirth of Tomb Raider, will be accompanied by some “top talents and names from the most respected developers” in the sector, said Booty. Names like Brian Westergaard, producer of the latest God of War, Christian Cantamessa and Tom Sheperd, of Rockstar Games, Daniel Neuburger, of Crystal Dynamics, or Blake Fischer, of Microsoft. Although the studio does not have any games on its curriculum and that the project it will announce in 2020 will be its first opera, the experience of its members is more than proven, having fish to obtain it in company as mentioned, or as They can also be Santa Monica Studio and Naughty Dog.
Another game for Xbox Series X?
By knowing many of the games that prepare all the studies of Microsoft, The Initiative and the special care and attention that Microsoft has dedicated, they have aroused much expectation. The confirmation of 2020 as the date of its presentation in society makes us mark on the calendar the next E3 and think about what surprise the developer may be preparing for the new console of the Redmond, Xbox Series X, which thanks to games like Halo Infinite or Hellblade 2, seems to start the generation with the right foot.
