The Coalition Has Reportedly Cancelled Two Projects, Gears 6 Now In Development
Microsoft’s mass layoffs last month affected pretty much every aspect of the company, including its gaming division.

We don’t know what these projects were, but one was apparently intended to train developers in the use of Unreal Engine 5.

According to Offerman, the last time he played a video game was 25 years ago, when he “lost two weeks” to Banjo-Kazooie. Worried about the addictive qualities of games and calling himself “very indulgent”, Offerman swore off games entirely. We’ve all been there, my man.
