Xbox Lays Off Age of Empires Studio Staff Amidst Gaming Division Restructuring

Microsoft's latest Xbox layoffs have reportedly gutted the Age of Empires studio, World's Edge. The news comes after the company announced significant job cuts in its gaming division earlier this year.

The Age of Empires series is a long-running franchise that has been a staple of the Xbox brand for decades. However, it appears that Microsoft has decided to cancel the next installment of the game, which was reportedly in development at World's Edge.

No official statement has been made by Microsoft regarding the layoffs or the cancellation of the game. The news is based on reports from sources close to the company, who have confirmed that the studio has been severely impacted by the recent job cuts.
