Just under two weeks ago, Microsoft announced it was laying off 9,000 employees across its workforce and revealed it had cancelled ZeniMax Online Studios' new MMORPG codenamed Blackbird (along with Rare's Everwild and the Perfect Dark reboot, with the latter's development studio The Initiative shuttered). Now, a report suggests ZeniMax devs who worked on the game will soon be affected by the Xbox cuts.
The news comes from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who wrote a post on social media in response to an article citing a recent statement from ZeniMax Online Studios' union and claiming none of its workers have been laid off.
