In 2025, Microsoft canceled an upcoming title at The Elder Scrolls Online developer ZeniMax Online Studios, and it has now come to light that studio boss Matt Firor resigned because of this.
He said in a post on LinkedIn that when it comes to him leaving the studio, “the most obvious explanation is the correct one.”
The game, which was in the works under the working title Project Blackbird, was “the game I had waited my entire career to create, and having it canceled led to my resignation,” he said.
