Microsoft closes Max and the Curse of Brotherhood dev studio, Press Play

Microsoft took to Xbox Wire to confirm that the studio of Max and the Curse of Brotherhood developer Press Play has been closed.

“We will close Press Play Studios in Denmark, and sunset development on Project Knoxville,” Microsoft Studios Europe’s Hanno Lemke said while also confirming that Fable Legends has been cancelled.

“Microsoft Studios continues to focus its investment and development on the games and franchises that fans find most exciting and want to play,” Lemke added. “We have nothing but heart-felt thanks for the members of Lionhead and Press Play for their contributions to Xbox and gaming.

“We are committed to working closely with those affected by today’s news to find them new opportunities at Xbox, or partnering with the broader development community to help place them in jobs elsewhere in the games industry should they desire.”

Our thoughts to out to those at Press Play and at Lionhead.
