The internet plumbing burst again to reveal the corpse of a killed ZeniMax title. Insider eXtas1s posted clips of Project Blackbird on X, which Tom Henderson verified as authentic internal assets demonstrating Unreal Engine 4 lighting effects. Visuals look underwhelming to some eyes, yet these snippets barely represent the final vision.
Microsoft executed this venture last July during a massive purge that also deleted Everwild and closed The Initiative. Phil Spencer reportedly enjoyed a hands-on session mere months prior to the shutdown. One journalist claimed the footage looked solid, while graphics lead Alex Tardif insisted the tech was heading toward greatness.
This third-person shooter casts users as Revenants serving alien syndicates on Soteria. That tidally locked planet hosted extreme biomes where bio-enhanced operatives navigated criminal underworlds to solve murder mysteries.
Matt Firor resigned immediately after the cancellation since this represented his dream release. Displaced staff members subsequently established Sackbird Studios and Ironroot Games to continue making art. The remaining crew at ZeniMax Online returned exclusively to The Elder Scrolls Online.
