Phil Spencer would like a sequel to Killer Instinct -apkrig

Microsoft Gaming President Phil Spencer was a guest on the 280th episode of the Dropped Frames podcast, and the debate turned to a few potentially interesting topics in a matter of minutes. For example, there was talk about why the upcoming Halo Infinite doesn’t have a fixed release date, as the developers at Playground Games – who introduced the fantastic-looking Forza Horizon 5 – with the development of Fable, or what will happen in the future with the Killer Instinct series, which fans will mourn almost ten years after the release of the last volume.

Let’s start with Halo Infinite, which was to become one of the brightest jewels in the first titles on offer for the new Xbox Series. But as you well know, the release was postponed indefinitely due to reactions to the unconvincing demonstration and later promised for the period of this Christmas. Microsoft repeated this information during its conference at E3, and in the Dropped Frames podcast, the question was why we still don’t know a specific date? Phil Spencer therefore once again assured the game really will be released this year and added a reason why Microsoft is not in a hurry to reveal the expected date: “We have about a three-week variance for us [ve kterém by hra mohla vyjít]. But we don’t have a specific date, because we are still waiting for the timing of some other games. ”According to Spencer, the 343 industries studio, and therefore the entire Microsoft, should be clear during the summer, and only then will the fans find out. It is important for Spencer to announce the date when it will no longer be necessary to move it, because even a week shift could be perceived by players as a failure, and the developers simply want to avoid this. At this point he had to respond to the question of why, despite the strategy outlined, they talked about the release of Starfield seventeen months before that should happen, but it all depended on Todd Howard, and Spencer complied with the release date.

Phil Spencer didn’t want to comment on the famous fantasy title too much, but he tried to explain to the players from a distance that the form of Forzy Horizon 5 could be considered a promise of what Fable might look like.

Then the discussion turned to the Playground Games studio, which was amazed at E3 with the performance of the great-looking Forzy Horizon 5 set in Mexico. However, the team is working on several projects simultaneously, and one of them is the reboot of the famous Fable, after which there was an unsuccessful meeting at E3. Phil Spencer did not want to comment on the fantasy title much, but tried to explain to the players that the form of Forzy Horizon 5 could be seen as a promise of what Fable might look like, and expressed unrestricted confidence to studio director Gavin Raeburn and his team. He described Fable as one of the most important brands for Xbox fans and indicated that he can’t wait to be able to show more of what awesome team at Playground Games works.

The last interesting information then fell on the account of the fighting series Killer Instinct, which fell silent in 2013 after the release of the last episode intended for Xbox One. “There are so many great games in our catalog that we’d like to go back to, and the reactions to the Killer Instinct when we released Xbox One were fantastic,” Spencer said. Unsurprisingly, he added that he had talked about the series many times with Xbox Game Studios director Matt Booty, and underlined that the brand remains in their hearts and they would certainly like both to somehow she continued. “It’s about finding the right team and the right opportunity, it’s not a lack of desire on our part,” the Xbox boss added, recalling that the game was originally worked by Rare developers and then by people from the already canceled Double Helix studio and the Iron Galaxy team. . It is therefore difficult to say whether a possible continuation would be entrusted to Rare again, but given their problems with Everwild and the constant work on Sea of ​​Thieves, we do not see this as probable.
