The big story of this week has been Microsoft's huge round of layoffs, which have impacted several teams and projects under the Xbox Game Studios banner. That includes Zenimax Online Studios, the developer behind the hugely successful The Elder Scrolls Online, which has seen an upcoming MMO scrapped. New details have now emerged about the project, codenamed Blackbird, which was reportedly a sci-fi noir third-person shooter with dynamic movement mechanics - and just a matter of months ago, a vertical slice allegedly wowed Microsoft's gaming chief Phil Spencer.
