In recent years, Microsoft was criticized for a–perceived or otherwise–lack of exclusive content and compelling games, but those days may be behind the company. In 2018, Microsoft acquired Undead Labs (State of Decay), Playground Games (Forza Horizon), Obsidian (Fallout: New Vegas), Ninja Theory (Hellblade), inXile (Wasteland), and Compulsion Games (We Happy Few), while also creating a brand-new southern California studio in The Initiative.

At E3 2019 this week, Microsoft acquired Brutal Legend and Psychonauts studio Double Fine and created another brand-new studio to focus on developing the Age of Empires franchise. Together with Microsoft’s own Global Publishing studio, Microsoft now has 15 studios under its Xbox Game Studios banner.

It appears Microsoft has now more than enough talent to release new games on a semi-regular basis. Some of Microsoft’s other studios include Halo developer 343 Industries, Gears of War studio The Coalition, and mainline Forza Motorsport team Turn 10. Microsoft also has Sea of Thieves developer Rare and the Minecraft team at Mojang under its catalog of owned studios.

At the Xbox E3 briefing today, Ninja Theory announced its new multiplayer game Bleeding Edge, while Playground showed off the wild new Lego expansion for Forza Horizon 4. 343, meanwhile, showcase a new story trailer for Halo Infinite, while The Coalition revealed more Gears 5 footage. Undead Labs announced a new expansion for State of Decay 2 called Heartland, while the Age of Empires studios announced Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

In a blog post, Microsoft confirmed that company veteran Shannon Loftis is heading up the new Age of Empires studio while Microsoft has hired former Warner Bros. veteran Peter Wyse to run the new Global Publishing team.

The only Xbox Game Studio without an announced project is The Initiative, which is a the Santa Monica-based studio that was only just formed last year and is only just getting started on its first title.

One of the best, most surprising reveals so far at E3 2019 has been the news that action movie star Keanu Reeves has a role in CD Projekt Red’s hugely anticipated role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077. Now, we’ve learned a little more about Reeves’ role in the ambitious new RPG from the creators of The Witcher.

Reeves plays the character Johnny Silverhand. He’s described by CD Projekt Red as a “legendary rockerboy” who gets his name from the fact that he has a robotic, silver arm. Silverhand is a “key” character in Cyberpunk 2077, so we may see a lot of him.

Reeves not only provided the voice and likeness of Silverhand, but he also performed full-body motion capture. This means Silverhand will look and act like Reeves. That’s good news, because as behind-the-scenes John Wick training videos have shown, Reeves is a talented actor who commits to his craft to ensure the best possible result.

In the new Cyberpunk 2077 trailer from E3, Silverhand says, “Wake the f**k up, Samurai, we have a city to burn.” You can re-watch Reeves’ on-stage appearance from E3 in the video embed above.

In Cyberpunk 2020, which Cyberpunk 2077 is loosely based on, Johnny Silverhand is a singer and guitarist who has seen better days.

After years of development, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally releasing on April 16, 2020 across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In other news, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the game’s PC edition is digital-only in North America.
