Rumor confirmed: Ensemble Studios Closing

Following reports of Ensemble shutting down, Microsoft has confirmed that the studio will be closing.

Microsoft released this statement about the closure, "This decision does not reflect at all on Ensemble's talent or the quality of Halo Wars -- in fact, many people who have had a chance to test drive Halo Wars agree that it is on track to being a fantastic game."

Though the studio may be closing, Ensemble's "leadership team" will form a new development team and has agreed to support Halo Wars post launch and several other MGS titles.
