Microsoft is cutting more than 9,000 jobs -- 4% of its global workforce -- and as a result, Everwild and the Perfect Dark reboot have been put out to pasture.

These changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before,” said Xbox head Phil Spencer in an email to staff.

Microsoft's gaming division is undergoing significant job cuts, affecting hundreds globally, including layoffs at King. Major subsidiaries like Raven Software and 343 Industries are impacted.
