Ninja Theory Faces Closure After Microsoft Fails to Find a Buyer
Ninja Theory, the beloved UK-based studio behind the Hellblade series, is heading toward closure after Microsoft failed to finalize a sale with prospective buyers. The studio had been put up for sale earlier this year as part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to streamline its gaming division, but two separate acquisition agreements have since collapsed, leaving the future of the Cambridge-based team in serious jeopardy. Staff have now entered a consultation period, a formal step that typically precedes redundancies under UK employment law.
