Age of Empires studio World's Edge reportedly lost nearly half its staff in Xbox cuts and moved to Activision

Former creative director Adam Isgreen said on the Resetera forums that Age of Empires studio World's Edge lost just under half its staff in yesterday's Xbox restructuring, himself included. The restructuring moved World's Edge under Activision's control, and the initial announcement did not say whether the studio would lose staff. Isgreen, who spent over 16 years at Microsoft on projects including Ori, Minecraft and State of Decay, said he was disappointed by how his time with World's Edge and Age of Empires ended.
