By comparison, something like Red Dead Redemption 2 had a massive 8,000 credited developers, although this doesn’t mean they were present throughout the entire production cycle. Read what I wrote again: ' I actually can't even think of this ever happening in the past, where it is announced like some co project like this. ' Developers outsource work all the time, but it is still the head developer. So many major games get outsourced, mostly to outsource studios, other first party teams or sometimes 3rd party studios, but this is NOT that. This is a collaboration between 2 major developers and announced as such. One that happened mid cycle too. It is unprecedented. Name me a single other collaboration between a major first party and 3rd party developer on a first party IP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
