as we know, the head of Microsoft's gaming Division Phil Spencer reiterated pi ù times that Microsoft is investing in the creation of a portfolio of value stocks, and are already à you arrive at our ears rumors of acquisitions and creating new titles. It now appears that part of these efforts, sar à carried out thanks to a brand new studio formed in California.

This is what can be seen from a new job offers published by the House of Redmond, where you find a Lead Producer for a studio located in Southern California, whose purpose will be to supervise the production of several projects AAA (the offer talk about AAAA, but obviously the meaning is the same), recruiting the most talented and creative talents in the market and creating a network of external contractors in ara.

Recently the ex-boss of Crystal Dynamics Darrell Gallagher was hired by Microsoft Studios (at E3 will be announced her role), and he is in California, more specifically the area of Santa Monica. It is therefore likely that Gallagher has been put in charge of this new study and have started recruiting high-level resources to give life to the new reality of development. The area of California has plenty of talent, considering residing in EA, Activision, Insomniac Games, Rockstar San Diego, Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica, Treyarch, and also houses the most advanced motion capture Studios; not to mention that is also home to Hollywood, so there's definitely no shortage of actors by film and story-driven projects. It is therefore certainly, together with the area of Montreal, one of the largest pools of talent to the Western video game industry.

Obviously such an ambitious project is expected to give the first fruits before 3-4 years so if probably at E3 will be announced the new study, we will see the fruits until 2021-2022. Hopefully we'll reserve some surprises!
