On Monday, Microsoft announced the closure of Press Play Studios in Denmark and the proposed closure of Lionhead. Several studios were removed from the studio list on their website, including Lionhead. The eliminated studios include Press Play Studios, BigPark, Good Science, Function, LXP, Project Spark, and SOTA. However, today the page was updated again and Lionhead was back on the list of studios. It is believed that most of the eliminated studios have been consolidated into other Microsoft Studios, but Lionhead’s situation is unique given the “proposed” closure announcement. The reappearance of Lionhead on the list raises questions about Microsoft’s decision to keep the studio open or if the removal from the website was an error. The Lionhead logo on the website still features the Fable Legends background, suggesting a possible mistake in its removal. Discussions regarding the future of Lionhead are ongoing, and a final decision is expected to be made in the coming weeks.
