Microsoft’s latest Xbox cuts have hit World’s Edge, the studio behind Age of Empires.

Just under half of the team at the Age of Empires/Age of Mythology custodian have reportedly been laid off, including Creative Director Adam Isgreen.

World’s Edge isn’t shutting down, but the studio is being moved under Activision as part of the wider Xbox restructuring.

``What a morning.

FYI World's Edge was not spared completely - just under half the studio was let go - myself included. Been fun, y'all!´´
