ZeniMax Online Studios a \u00e9t\u00e9 consid\u00e9rablement affect\u00e9 apr\u00e8s que Xbox ait effectu\u00e9 des licenciements g\u00e9n\u00e9ralis\u00e9s. Non seulement ils ont perdu du personnel, mais leur jeu, Project Blackbird, a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9. Cette nouvelle a surpris l’\u00e9quipe, surtout compte tenu de la tr\u00e8s positive r\u00e9action qu’ils avaient re\u00e7ue des dirigeants de marque. Bloomberg a rapport\u00e9 que les employ\u00e9s ont appris brutalement leur sort : ils se sont r\u00e9veill\u00e9s pour d\u00e9couvrir que leur acc\u00e8s au travail \u00e9tait r\u00e9voqu\u00e9. Une d\u00e9couverte choquante, sans aucun doute. Jason Schreier a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 qu’en mars 2025, des dirigeants d’Xbox de haut niveau, dont Phil Spencer, avaient jou\u00e9 une d\u00e9mo de Project Blackbird et \u00e9taient reportedly tr\u00e8s impressionn\u00e9s. Ce qui est particuli\u00e8rement d\u00e9concertant, c’est que seulement quelques mois apr\u00e8s avoir re\u00e7u des \u00e9loges importants pour leur travail, l’\u00e9quipe de Project Blackbird a appris que leur jeu \u00e9tait annul\u00e9 et qu’ils \u00e9taient sans emploi. Selon les sources de Schreier, lorsque Spencer jouait la d\u00e9mo en mars, Matt Booty a m\u00eame d\u00fb r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer physiquement la manette de lui parce qu’il \u00e9tait si absorb\u00e9 dans le jeu,Despite needing to attend a meeting.<\/p>\n
Projet Blackbird \u00e9tait d\u00e9crit comme un jeu de tir \u00e0 la troisi\u00e8me personne en ligne, avec une esth\u00e9tique de science-fiction noire \u00e9voquant Blade Runner. Les joueurs pouvaient parcourir rapidement les environnements gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des capacit\u00e9s de mouvement dynamiques telles que les sauts doubles, les dashes a\u00e9riens, les crochets de grappin et l’escalade de murs, permettant la travers\u00e9e verticale. Le d\u00e9veloppement du jeu avait commenc\u00e9 relativement lentement mais avait r\u00e9cemment pris beaucoup de vitesse, le \u00e9quipe s’\u00e9tendant jusqu’\u00e0 environ 300 personnes. La direction de Microsoft a m\u00eame examin\u00e9 une d\u00e9mo verticale impressionnante en mars 2025. Puis, brutalement, Projet Blackbird a \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9, laissant tout le monde chez ZeniMax Online Studios utterly astonished. En raison de l’annulation inexpliqu\u00e9e du projet Blackbird, Matt Firor, qui dirige et fonde ZeniMax Online Studios, a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 sa d\u00e9mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
