sugarhigh 555 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Damn what a disaster. Square Enix back to "get bought by playstation" mode. Link to post Share on other sites
FIREPOWER 825 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 They've been merged with Square Enix. Forspoken is a mega flop but they aren't dead though, quite the contrary according to this article. Link to post Share on other sites

Its a routine business acquisition. What? It was always a Square subsidiary. No acquisition was made. The studio is getting shitcanned and the team is getting put on other teams at Square.

It sounded like the studio would remain whole, they would just be fully integrated into SE. Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 449 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Wasn't Luminous Productions a team SE put together specifically to work with the Luminous Engine in order to try to prove to themselves that the engine wasn't complete shit? Looks like Forspoken made them finally realize the engine is complete shit and not worth investing further in. Don't know why they needed to make Forspoken to make them realize that though, it's been well documented that the FF XV team hated working with the engine and is one of the reasons why the game was stuck in development hell (as well as many other reasons). Guess SE figured the results would be different this time with a specialized team but nope... Engine just sucks. Link to post Share on other sites
