Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks have been shut down


Microsoft has shuttered four ZeniMax teams: Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Studios and Roundhouse Games.

In an email to employees published by IGN, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty outlined the upheaval, stating that some workers would transition to other teams under ZeniMax's purview. Roundhouse has played a key role in many of our recent game launches and bringing them into ZOS to work on The Elder Scrolls Online will mean we can do even more to grow the world that millions of players call home. Sony, Take-Two Interactive, Tencent, Epic Games and publishers of all sizes have been gobbling up talent in a rash of post-pandemic corporate consolidation, and this has led to an avalanche of mass layoffs in the industry.
