Xbox's restructuring continues to reshape its studios following layoffs and closures. IGN reported that id Software and MachineGames are working more closely than ever after the reset. Eurogamer reported that Turn 10 founder Dan Greenawalt left after 27 years as Turn 10 merged with Playground Games, part of a restructuring that brought 3,200 layoffs and four studio closures. Romero Games, whose game Xbox abandoned, found a new publisher but shrank from 110 to 16 developers, and John Romero is drawing on Breath of the Wild. Eurogamer also reported that The Elder Scrolls 6 may be revealed next month.
