Last month, This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up announced that it was This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up developers Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, both highly beloved studios. It was a surprising and upsetting announcement for many, with Tango's closure being particularly surprising given Hi-Fi Rush's recent critical acclaim and This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up even saying it was happy with the game's performance. Arkane Austin's was equally frustrating, though perhaps less surprising considering how much Redfall, a live-service title made by a studio known for its single-player games, underperformed. Speaking at This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up , Spencer was asked to comment on the closures, and the reasoning behind the decision. "The closure of any team is hard obviously on the individuals there, hard on the team," Spencer said. "I haven't been talking publicly about this, because right now is the time for us to focus on the team and the individuals. It's obviously a decision that's very hard on them, and I want to make sure through severance and other things that we're doing the right thing for the individuals on the team.
