It&#8217;s unclear if other companies considered buying Undead Labs, though it wouldn&#8217;t be surprising; while most of the Xbox teams that were at risk of being shut down managed to go independent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/microsoft-signals-intention-to-close-down-ninja-theory-after-deals-to-save-the-hellblade-developer-fall-through\">Ninja Theory is facing closure
