Hellblade developer Ninja Theory to shut down in new Xbox cuts

Microsoft has begun consultation with Ninja Theory staff over closing the studio behind Hellblade, Enslaved and DmC: Devil May Cry. Two separate deals for the studio fell through, leaving its announced game Senua without an owner.

• Ninja Theory was developing Senua, a new Hellblade entry announced in June
• The studio was put up for sale a month after the game's reveal
• Two separate agreements for Ninja Theory fell through
• The closure is part of a new wave of Xbox layoffs
