Newshot Gunshots Fired at the Office Building of Microsoft Xbox Studio InXile; Police Have Arrested One Suspect
IT之家 November 15 news: According to foreign media outlet Kotaku, the office building of Microsoft's Xbox game studio InXile Entertainment, located in Tustin, California, USA, was the scene of a drive-by shooting at around 1:10 p.m. local time on November 11. The building was struck by multiple bullets, and 5 to 8 shell casings were found at the scene. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Kotaku further learned that the bullets struck the ground floor of the office building where InXile Entertainment is located. Police at one point investigated whether the studio was the target of the shooting, but have not yet confirmed that possibility.
A spokesperson for InXile Entertainment told Kotaku: "We are grateful that no one at the InXile office was injured. At this time, our focus is on supporting our team members, and we are working closely with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation."
Tustin police arrested a suspect on November 13, two days after the shooting, but have not yet determined a motive. Tustin Police Sergeant Christopher Peterson told foreign media outlet Aftermath that after receiving a report of a drive-by shooting on November 11, police responded to the scene, found multiple shell casings, confirmed that no one had been injured, and then processed the scene. Police took a suspect into custody before 11 a.m. on November 13, and are still investigating the cause and motive of the shooting.
Public information shows that InXile Entertainment was founded in the early 2000s by Interplay co-founder Brian Fargo and is known for CRPG titles such as the Wasteland series. Microsoft acquired the studio in 2018, and InXile is currently developing its first 3D action role-playing game, Clockwork Revolution.
Clockwork Revolution blends elements of the design styles of titles such as Dishonored and BioShock, and is expected to launch in 2027 as one of Xbox's major console exclusives that year.
