Xbox head Asha Sharma has confirmed a new strategic direction for the division, emphasizing a dual focus on expanding established franchises and creating original intellectual properties. During an internal town hall meeting, Sharma identified the development of new game series as a vital component for the company's future growth.
The strategy aims to foster growth for major brands like Halo and Fallout while simultaneously reaching new audiences through original titles. This approach is being implemented alongside a significant restructuring of the studio portfolio, which includes shifting Halo under Activision's management and assigning a new Fallout project to Obsidian.
The organizational changes involve notable shifts in studio roles. Compulsion Games, the developer behind South of Midnight, has transitioned to an independent status. Other studios such as Ninja Theory, Double Fine, and Compulsion have been separated from the core structure as part of this broader content strategy reset.
While these reports, sourced from transcripts shared with Windows Central, clarify the company's intent to balance investment between legacy brands and new projects, specific details remain limited. Currently, there are no announced timelines or concrete project titles associated with the new original intellectual properties mentioned by Sharma.
