At least somebody is happy with the state of Xbox. With Xbox now 75% through an urgent restructuring plan that has seen thousands laid off, many games canceled, and several studios severed or consolidated, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says the "streamlining" going on is "great to see." Asked about the state and future of Xbox on Sources Podcast by Alex Heath, Nadella says "I feel fantastic about the IP we have right now.

The Blood of Dawnwalker, the newly released vampire RPG from the new studio led by The Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, was made on a budget of $40 million under NetEase. That's according to a new article from Bloomberg covering the game's development. The budget is the standout: Chinese company NetEase gained a 26% investment in The Blood of Dawnwalker developer Rebel Wolves and set its budget, while Bandai Namco ultimately stepped in as the game's publisher.
