Studio creating Phantom Dust For Xbox One Shuts Its Doors

[PS5 Pro]

Independent development studio Darkside Games, which was working on the planned reboot of the cult classic Phantom Dust, shut down this afternoon in the wake of news that Microsoft had cancelled their version of the game, Kotaku has learned.

Microsoft, however, says they're still working on the upcoming Xbox One reboot.

"Microsoft partnered with Darkside Game Studios in the development of 'Phantom Dust,' but our working relationship has now ended," a Microsoft spokesperson said. "We have great respect for their studio and their work in the industry. While we do not have anything new to share on 'Phantom Dust' at this time, we can confirm that development of the title continues. We look forward to sharing more details on the game as we get closer to release."

Xbots seem to love talking about the order but seem strangley quiet about this.

Whens the next xbox exclusive releasing again?

This will be lucky to come out in 2017.

So they say they still working on it, just not with this team. They didn't like their "version" of the game.
Which means there is another "version" they like better. Wouldn't you want your company to be on top of things like this?

You can't compare this to The Order, you compare this to The Last Guardian. Sony just kept you in the dark, then lied to you. We don't operate that way on the Greener Side

Well Kinect is dead. What else is there for Rare to do nstead of returning to their roots?

I don't think your last statement is fair simply because what's coming up now contradicts it. MS isn't afraid to try new things. In fact they're more or less about as IP abusable as Sony (I mean is there any explanation why Killzone got a sequel)

Rare could have been going back to their roots for the past decade. You aren't making any sense with that argument.

Breh, these are the new IPs Microsoft has debuted since the 360:

Too Human
Gears
Alan Wake
Shadow Complex
Crackdown
Titanfall (I'll throw it on here, even though it's not really theirs)
Ryse (same)
Sunset Overdrive
Ori

This is what Sony has introduced since the PS3:

Beyond: Two Souls
Heavy Rain
Demon's Souls
Uncharted
inFamous
Little Big Planet
Knack
The Order 1886
The Last of Us
Dead Nation
Resogun
Dragon's Crown
Fat Princess
Heavenly Sword
Journey
Modnation Racers
Motorstorm
Puppeteer
Rain
Resistance
Tales of Xillia
Ni No Kuni
Unfinished Swan
Hohokum
Driveclub
Bloodborne
Gravity Rush
Tearaway

Maybe it's just me, but that seems a little lopsided.

MS is funding development of the game because Square Enix sees no financial safety in publishing/continuing funding because Tomb Raider 2013 did not meet their outrageous expectations. Just like Sleeping Dogs.

thats what they say but everyone knows thats not the truth.

How so? You got the contract? Who is everyone?

What am I missing? Titanfall, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive and Gears are 3rd party for MS.

Sony doesn't own Tales of, Ni no Kuni, or Dragons Crown.
