Ninja Theory will be releasing its next game - Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 - tomorrow, and Windows Central is reporting the next game from the studio has already been greenlit.
This new game is not the already announced Project Mara and the information comes from multiple sources. There are also no plans for Microsoft to shut down Ninja Theory.
There has been speculation that Microsoft would shut down Ninja Theory as it is a smaller developer owned by Xbox that is releasing its next game. This is due to Microsoft shutting down three shutting down three studios at Bethesda - Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, and Alpha Dog Studios - earlier this month.
There was another report that Xbox is planning more cuts and is "offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax."
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 will launch for the Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, and Xbox Game Pass on May 21 for $49.99.

We will see if they are true after a couple of days lol
I wonder what the cost for this game was. If it cost more, but reviews worse I'd be worried for the studio.
It's a shame Microsoft games have so many haters. The games are released on game pass and on various platforms. I don't see the "why" of so much hate...
In the past, people cared about playing games, instead of fighting console wars. In my opinion, the game came with great graphics, excellent sounds, a short but well-told story and, finally, well optimized (despite being at 30 FPS, but that's what matters least to me, because what's the point of a game with 4K and 120 FPS with a generic and poor quality story?).
What people want to differentiate the XBox is a console full of games, but for that to happen, Microsoft would have to adopt the same strategy as Sony, which is to "sabotage" the competitor... it has economic power, but I think This would not be healthy for the gaming industry, as imagine having a big tech company fully subsidizing your console, paying for exclusivity for Resident Evil, GTA VI and other famous franchises from third party studios, in addition, imagine leaving several franchises from first party studios exclusive. party and continue buying studios? She can do it all! Sometimes I think flame war wants to see this instead of games.
Project Mara wasn't greenlit?
The need to stop pushing graphics and actually put some gameplay in their games.
But greenlit doesn’t necessarily mean it will make it to the finish line. I guess we’ll know in 5 to 7 years?
How bleak must be the state of affairs at Xbox for a rumor of a studio "not shutting down" to make onto the news.
Well that's a nice subversion of expectations. I figured they'd shutter the company after HEllblade 'failed to meet expectations' despite it probably being an excellent game due to no advertisement or reviews or pre-release hype.
Why just no? Why bother posting if you are just going to use so very little letters. If you are in that much of a hurry then just post later.
I was saying no to TGW2 being greenlit and it was only ever a rumor, like you said. We never heard another word past that. What we know about both Arkane Austin and Tango is neither had anything in active development. Tango wanted to pitch a sequel to Hifi Rush.
My googling doesn't show that it was green lit, but rumored yes. FY24E,
I'm not sure how accurate the image is though seeing as I don't think any of this actually came about.
IE no oblivion remaster, I don't recall any DOOM stuff etc.
