Avowed's director has commented on Xbox's recent studio closures, saying they "don't believe in living in fear."
Speaking to Eurogamer, Avowed game director Carrie Patel responds to a question over whether a Microsoft first-party studio can still feel safe to experiment given the recent closures. Just earlier this year, Microsoft closed Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, and at the time, Blade's game director said the move was a "f***ing gut stab."
