InXile Entertainment's Jeremy Kopman speaking with GamesBeat in an interview revealed the studio being acquired by Microsoft has been a good thing for the development of Wasteland 3. Microsoft gave the studio more time and resources.
"We got some more time and a bunch more resources," said Kopman. "We’ve been able to step up the visual quality. We were able to fully lock in on full voiceover for all dialogue in the game. It’s not a small amount of V/O. Those things were not opportunities we had before the Microsoft acquisition. It’s really opened up some of those avenues."
Wasteland 3 will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC in 2020.

That is what I would expect from a company with good money reserves when they buy a dev that is facing hardship.
Anyway, congrats MS to giving it time to be a better game.
That is a great first thing to hear from these newly acquired studios. One can evidently see this nice treatment in Turn10 and how they weren't rushed to make a new Forza Motorsport this year.
Maybe their plan is to have a lot of studios so they can put more time between individual studio game releases, all the while still having a lot of games per year. We ought to see this fold out if they announce more at XO19 and E3 2020.
Basically, they were tight on cash before, so couldn't afford to extend development. Now, they have deep pockets backing them, and those deep pockets aren't rushing them. That sounds good to me.
Sounds promising.
Glad to hear. More resources and time is something all big brands should do.
Glad to hear this, was very concerned about MS acquiring inXile and Obsidian, but it seems so far they're letting them do their own thing with more money.
