Asobo Studio hasn't announced any new games in development

Yesterday the news was leaked that Asobo Studio was working on another game in collaboration with Xbox Game Studio. They actually let it be known through Xboxsquad.fr that it was a translation error and the French studio never announced such a thing.

"No Asobo hasn't announced a new game in development", reads on Twitter in response to Gamingbolt. "Other than the collaboration with Focus Home Interactive for a new game, we have nothing to announce for now" they stated below.

What do you think?

🇫🇷 "En revanche, hormis le partnership avec Focus Home Interactive pour un nouveau jeu, nous n'avons rien à annoncer."

Original news - Asobo Studio, team responsible for the excellent Microsoft Flight Simulator , intends to continue the collaboration with Xbox Game Studios with a new project already in development, one of two in the works at the French team of which nothing is yet known.

After the announcement that Microsoft Flight Simulator has already sold more than a million copies, Asobo has also reported something about its future, which however remains linked to flight simulation and also to Microsoft, in some way, but not only.

Before everything, he wanted to specify that Microsoft Flight Simulator is in effect a platform, a title destined to go on at least ten years with constant evolutions and additions, many of which we are already seeing in these first months of presence on the market, given that the simulation is expanding regularly, ol three upon opening to third party support.

However, ongoing support for Microsoft Flight Simulator will come mainly through developers at Xbox Game Studios and XGS Publishing, while Asobo will progressively focus on other games in development. Among other things, it is interesting to note that the flight simulation is based on FTech Engine, or the graphics engine of Turn 10 used for Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon.

Currently, the French team has two projects underway that have yet to be announced: one is in development in collaboration with Focus Home Interactive, with whom the team previously released A Plague Tale: Innocence, while the other is a game in development in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios, therefore probably financed by Microsoft is probably Xbox and PC exclusive. We therefore look forward to announcements from Asobo Studio.
