Gigantic is no longer in development for Xbox One, studio lays off its employees
Motiga has announced that it has laid off its employees and that Gigantic is no longer in development on Xbox One. In a post on their official website, the studio indicated that although they are searching for investors and want to continue making Gigantic, they no longer have the sufficient funds to pay their employees until that time arrives. As a result, their employees have been laid off while the studio seeks investors. “While we intend to continue supporting Gigantic game services for as long as we are able, the reality is that a decision of this magnitude will impact all departments across the studio, an impact that will be felt by our community of beta testers as the services they depend on will operate without the key staff on hand to support those services”. Fortunately, Motiga still wants to not only work on the game, but rehire all of the employees that were laid off in order to do so. Often times, studios hire only a few back in an effort to save themselves money. Luckily, the employees still have a possible future at Motiga once investments have been secured. “Our goal at this time is to work aggressively to identify the resources we need to rehire the members of the Motiga family that were laid off today, securing our financial future so that the Gigantic community can continue to work with us to develop this title, and ultimately bring the complete Gigantic experience to the marketplace.”

Cloaked in Silence DLC released for Metal Gear Online
A brand new DLC campaign has been released for Metal Gear Solid Online today featuring a familiar face; Quiet The Cloaked in Silence DLC features a number of new maps and features for the online component of the game along with some various packs as well. · Coral Complex: A dedicated Motherbase environment, allowing players to access tall towers and use storage containers and other internal areas as cover for tactical advantage. Coral Complex mixes open areas and a myriad of hiding opportunities. · Rust Palace: Set within Afghanistan, the Rust Palace is a large multi-level building. The skeletal nature of the decrepit ruin means that cover is scarce, while the internal areas are rich in dusty rooms and high-up sniping positions. · Azure Mountain: An outdoor plain under Africa’s baking sky. A small cluster of buildings offers scant cover, with only derelict walls and occasional scrubland surrounding the massive rock known locally as the Cradle of Spirits. METAL GEAR ONLINE also sees the debut of Quiet as a playable character. A buddy character familiar from METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN, Quiet is a legendary sniper who can take out distant targets with excellent accuracy, Quiet’s movement speed is extremely fast and allows for unique jumping abilities over high steps where a player would usually need a ladder. She can also temporarily cloak her visibility while sprinting to activate a boost in movement speed. The new ‘Cloaked in Silent’ DLC also adds the APPEAL ACTION feature, which triggers a unique character pose known as APPEAL ACTION. Players can preset up to five different slots per character with additional APPEAL ACTION packs are available for purchase in store. Released in tandem to the DLC, a free update to METAL GEAR ONLINE includes a brand new competitive mission, SABOTAGE. Attackers must destroy an enemy missile before the round expires; but to access the missile, attackers must first hack into the Terminals to deactivate the Electromagnetic (EM) Barrier that is protecting it. Once the Terminals are hacked and the EM Barrier is deactivated, defenders can choose to reactivate the Barrier or protect the Missile. The pack is available now for only €3.99
