The extremely popular developer Ensemble studios is closing. The news comes after confirmation from an unnamed source over at Kotaku sent them notice. The source said that Shane Kim, the VP of Microsoft visited the studios to deliver the bad news. If you hadn’t known Ensemble has been working on the much anticipated title Halo Wars, and has also worked on very popular games like Age of Empires III, and Age of Mythology.
Not only is it a sad day for the developer, but it’s also a strange move on Microsofts part. As stated earlier, the company has worked on some big titles, so it comes as a big surprise that they’re closing. Maybe we’ll know more when Microsoft releases an official statement.
