Microsoft's recent layoffs included the cancellation of Project Blackbird, an action-RPG MMO from ZeniMax. The game featured a customizable protagonist called a Revenant in a universe influenced by Cyberpunk 2077. Set on the alien world Soteria, players would interact with various alien syndicates while responding to missions from a sentient AI named PAN. The project, which was not fully developed, was ultimately abandoned as Microsoft decided against investing further resources, leaving its story and gameplay unfinished. Other games such as Rare's Everwild were also victims of these cuts.
Project Blackbird aimed to be an action-RPG MMO populated with a fully customizable human cyborg protagonist, known as a Revenant, set on the alien world of Soteria.
The game featured a storyline involving a sentient AI named PAN, who would task players with solving a high-profile murder and engaging with alien syndicates for power.
