A huge Xbox restructuring!
Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its Xbox gaming division has left a lot of uncertainty for the major upcoming game from Arkane Studios, Marvel’s Blade.
There have been a lot of rumors and speculation about the game, which has confused fans and gamers. The good news is that this game has not been cancelled. Here’s everything you need to know about the game and the future of the studio.
Marvel’s Blade is still in development
