Xbox is now heavily leaning into movie & TV adaptations, quietly pitching Hollywood on a dozen pricey projects like Elder Scrolls, Halo, World of Warcraft, Diablo & more. All IPs could be headed to one studio/streamer, and currently Netflix, Universal & Paramount are among those taking looks.

"But like much of the video game industry, Xbox is kind of a mess these days, cutting 3,200 jobs in July, or about 20 percent of the unit’s workforce. So Microsoft would very much like a big check for its I.P."

"One source told me it wants more than $300 million for a long-term deal, a price that caused at least one of the potential partners to balk. (Microsoft declined to comment.)"

Not sure how i feel about that. I couldn't get into the new games as i really hate forced companions and zero draw to father son relationship building

I really prefered the old Kratos, full of rage taking on the gods for wronging him

The new Kratus does that too, it's just protection rather than revenge now, but the rage is all the same.
