What the hell? So they took a studio that made a revered story driven single player game in Hellblade and had them make an online multiplayer game? So disappointing. Seemed like the perfect opportunity for MS to improve their single player lineup.

This game was in development years before MS came into the picture. Before Hellblade came out, even. These uninformed hot takes are getting tiring.

Just to clarify: Ninja Theory was working on this before they were acquired by Microsoft.

Apparently, "Developers should be able to make whatever game they want" really means "Developers should make the kind of game that I want."

I agree with whoever said this looks like a westernized Anarchy Reigns.

Not really my cup of tea at all; unappealing art style.

This is the most tone deaf utilisation of a studio like Ninja Theory. What the fuck?

Keen to give it a go, obviously, but I really hate the fact this is what their first MS project is.

It's just that, the first big narrative driven studio MS buys and a MP focused game is their first output?

It's very suspect.

Sounds interesting. Although it's a little disappointing that it's a MP game.

But... Ninja Theory are a SP-focused studio..? I'm not a fan, fair play to those that are, but this seems like a weird studio mismatch.

I love Ninja Theory but I am not a fan of how this looks. I will give it a chance though.

This was always gonna be the case. Ninja Theory comes out with a single player epic: "amazing, too bad MS bought them". They reveal a multiplayer game they were working on long before MS even started looking into buying studios: "Microsoft ruined them! Why aren't they making what they want to make? I mean, not this, what I want them to want them to make"

Very surprised at the amount of people who are shocked in this thread so far - "this is what NT are doing!?"

This game has been rumoured to be in production for several years. They have multiple different teams in house working on different projects. No doubt they're working on their next big single player game also. People need to relax.

So disappointed for the devs who worked so hard to have this ready for Sunday.

It's a shame that Rahni's new game is an online MP 4vs4 game.

After DmC:DE I would've loved to see her work on another traditional action game.

Yeah, because they totally developed this from the moment they were acquired. I swear some of you people go way too far on your hatred towards Xbox. Please learn how game development works before spilling poison.

Wow this looks fun. Hope Microsoft can put this in a position to succeed. Apparently they've been making this game for some time. I'll sign up for an alpha for sure.

Not my kind of game at all and I'm not a fan of the fugly character designs at all either. Hard pass on this one from me, but best of luck to Ninja Theory as I've enjoyed all their other games.

I hope they have a couple of shoutcasters on again to take 10 or so minutes of the conference.

Really liked DmC, so when I saw the trailer - I thought Ninja Theory - yes - Combat Action - HELL YES - 4v4 - no - Online - HELL NO.

Sad, almost got me excited...

Art style like this makes me wanna smoke crack. Hope it's a good game though!
