Xbox Roundhouse Studios Working on Unannounced Project, Assisting With Redfall Development

Roundhouse Studios isn't an Xbox development team that many fans will be familiar with. The studio was formed as a part of Bethesda in 2019 and became a part of Xbox when Microsoft acquired ZeniMax Media. However, it has a long and very familiar history prior to that. As of right now, however, Roundhouse is reportedly very busy. Early details indicate that not only is Roundhouse helping develop Redfall with Arkane Austin, but it's also working on an unannounced Xbox game itself.

The information comes from the LinkedIn profile of Roundhouse Studios game designer Brad Fawaz. Fawaz lists under his past work experience starting at Roundhouse when the studio formed in 2019. Two projects are listed under this Roundhouse experience. The first is Redfall and the second is a simply a black title card with the word «Unannounced» on it. It's not much to go on, but it's intriguing nonetheless.

Xbox Game Pass Could Be Losing One of Its Best Games Soon

Fawaz didn't join the Roundhouse development team as it was formed in 2019, it should be noted. He was a part of the studio prior to that when it was known as Human Head Studios. For those unfamiliar, Human Head Studios closed itself in 2019 and converted what's believed to be its entire staff into Roundhouse as a Bethesda subsidiary. Fawaz' experience at Human Head involved work on the open-world Rune 2 as well as other design work on several unannounced projects.

Human Head is known for many other projects other than Rune 2, however. The Quiet Man was released in 2018, its most notable modern release. The project it's best known for is the 2006 game Prey, as well as the controversy surrounding its canceled Prey 2 work. The modern Roundhouse is unlikely to be much like the past Human Head,
