Phantom Dust reboot developer shut down, game still in development
Studio Behind Phantom Dust Reboot Shuts Down
Independent development studio Darkside Games, which was working on the planned reboot of the cult classic Phantom Dust, shut down this afternoon in the wake of news that Microsoft had cancelled their version of the game, Kotaku has learned.
Microsoft, however, says they're still working on the upcoming Xbox One reboot.
"Microsoft partnered with Darkside Game Studios in the development of 'Phantom Dust,' but our working relationship has now ended," a Microsoft spokesperson said. "We have great respect for their studio and their work in the industry. While we do not have anything new to share on 'Phantom Dust' at this time, we can confirm that development of the title continues. We look forward to sharing more details on the game as we get closer to release."
Darkside, a small independent studio in Florida that has mostly done contract work on games like Borderlands and Sunset Overdrive, had been helming Phantom Dust as its first solo project, we've learned today. But when the studio's heads today heard that Microsoft had axed their game, they were forced to let everyone go, according to two people who worked there. The studio employed around 50 people.
"The executives who saw it were impressed and as late as this morning gave our team every indication that the project was on solid ground," said one of those people, who requested anonymity while speaking with Kotaku because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the situation. "Yet we got the phone call today that someone up on high who in all likelihood wasn't even aware of the game in detail shut it down."
Phantom Dust originally came out in 2004 for the first Xbox. Microsoft announced plans to remake the game for Xbox One at E3 of 2014.

First screenshot of Phantom Dust remaster
Xbox boss Phil Spencer shared the first screenshot of the E3 2016-announced Phantom Dust remaster on Twitter.
The game will feature remastered graphics, cloud-save support, cross-device play between Xbox One and PC, and support for “Looking for Group” and “Looking for Arena” on Xbox Live. New gameplay features include multiplayer starter decks that let you jump straight into multiplayer, improved frame rate, and game balance adjustments.
According a tweet from Spencer in January, the game is planned for release “before E3” in June. It will be available for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.

19 minutes of Phantom Dust remaster gameplay, details
Polygon has gone up with 19 minutes of footage and first details on the upcoming Phantom Dust remaster for Xbox One and PC.
The Phantom Dust remaster moves from a 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9. On Xbox One, the game renders at 1080p, and on PC, it renders at 4K resolution.
Card data for every single one of the game’s skills is now stored on Microsoft’s server, allowing the company to rapidly push out patches and tweak the game balance in real-time.
Microsoft also made changes to the game’s single-player story progression, no longer preventing players from getting into the game’s core deck-building mechanic in the first few hours of the game. Additionally, if you fail any mission three times, you can skip it. You’ll still get rewards, but there are some achievements that are tied to not skipping and doing challenging things.
There will also be free and paid downloadable content. One of the first free downloadable add-ons will give you “a whole bunch of skills and an arsenal case” so you can jump straight into multiplayer with an assortment of cards to build decks from. There are also “a whole bunch of accelerants” for multiplayer, “so if you want all of the skills immediately, for a couple bucks, you can get all of the skills.”
Microsoft said it hasn’t changed anything about the way the original game works, and that downloadable content was just added for convenience.
