Head of Microsoft Studios Matt Booty confirmed to Polygon that the company cut its partnership with both Jones and Reagent Games, explaining that they’re only working with Sumo Digital on Crackdown 3 now.
Founder of Reagent Games Dave Jones left the studio at the beginning of 2018 to join Epic Games as director of cloud strategy after his other company, Cloudgine, was acquired.
When asked what Jones’ departure meant for Cloudgine, Booty told Polygon he didn’t want to “get into the actual technical breakdown.”
As reported by Polygon, attempts to reach out to Reagent Games have gone unanswered, prompting concern over the current state of the studio.
