Mix of info about the development with darthpaxton who interviewed the devs at E3 and Gamereactor.
Crazy they can do this with this small of a team.

Bleeding Edge started development properly 3 years ago. Working with a Hellblade sized team of arround 15 people on average, upped to 30 now

Constantly amazed at NT's ability to make games with such small teams. While Be is not for everyone, the overall style, animation and feel is super impressive.
I know they love making smaller projects with smaller teams but I really wonder what NT could kick out with a much larger team. On second thought, I think they way they split smaller groups is exactly what MS want.

Just to clarify, I didn't interview anyone formally, I was just in line for FanFest and am really nosey. :D
I guess it depends on what direction they push it? A 4v4 brawler with melee combat but pushed towards an Over watch feel with new characters, various maps, interesting new modes etc, could be pretty great. I guess the tests will be very telling.
Tons of projects in the works, eh? Good to know, good to know. The idea of a competitive stylish action game is compelling, especially coming from a developer who can marry style and action as well as NT, so I think this will turn out to be something special. And since it's not entirely reliant on melee combat, people adverse to it might feel catered by different play styles as well.
Often it works far better to have a small core team in terms of communication and sticking to a creative vision. You can work far more efficiently but it only works on games like this that are smallish in scope.

Ninja Theory is like the anti Bioware....at least in regards to Anthem
3 years, and it being a pretty straightforward 4x4 brawler by the looks of it with a small scope. You can do a lot with 15 people.

Still there is some nice polish already there wich i usually dont expect with this small of a team
for sure! you can clearly see the love the team has for their project!

Some more info from a other interview.
I was going to say impressive fir such a small team. Too bad the game looks boring and uninteresting. Don't really care for melee brawlers in that regard. Shooters, sure, melee not so much. Can't even get into the melee characters in OW.
Great article. As soon as Kung Fu Chaos was mentioned, I was in.
I'm sure it will. I just wish it was something that tickled my fancy. I've been digging team MP games lately.
Such a talented and efficient studio. Glad they are working in much better conditions now. BE is another unique addition to Xbox portfolio.
Phil said all the MS Studios have access to older IPs, so Ninja Teory could do a new Conker game.
Too bad it's gonna die miserably and fade into oblivion weeks after release like all the niche multiplayer games out there, they should've put this effort into a single player game at least it can give them money a while after release, maybe i'm too pessimistic, but the 83245714 previous experiences from other devs before this game all failed except for like 1 or 2 games ... :/
It's really impressive how polished it looks considering the size of the team, and it's great to see all the positive impressions.. Ninja Theory is such a talented studio.
Thanks to Game Pass it'll have a healthy population as long as the game is good, which early impressions seem to indicate.
If any Xbox studio wanted to take on Conker I bet it would be DoubleFine.
I really hope so, Ninja Theory are great and it'd be a shame to see all their effort go to waste
That bit about every project now being a Passion Project, is really cool. Not THAT interested in this one, personally, but still, wish them the best. They're incredibly talented, and I'm excited to what's in store for the team.
