Report: Certain Affinity is working on an Xbox-exclusive 'Monster Hunter'-like codenamed 'Suerte'

Microsoft is working on a veritable mountain of content, with both internal and external partners. Microsoft acquired ZeniMax, and is attempting to learn Activision Blizzard, and its growing list of upcoming Xbox games is a big driving force for its subscription service, Xbox Game Laissez passer.

In improver to internal games, Microsoft is working on a range of third-parties on titles like Project Dragon, from IO Interactive, As Sunset Falls from Interior Nighttime, and Contraband, from Avalanche. Cheers to the latest episode of Jeff Grubb's GrubbSnax show, we at present have unearthed yet another game.

I tin confirm via our ain dissever sources that this game is indeed real, and is currently codenamed Project Suerte. Suerte is reportedly a "Monster Hunter" inspired game, implying large monster battles with multiplayer gameplay. The game is in evolution by Certain Affinity, which is known primarily as a support studio on titles like Halo and Phone call of Duty.

According to the information I've received over the last few months, Projection Suerte has been in evolution since the summer of 2022, and is likely slated for a 2023 reveal and 2024 release, although information technology may come a bit sooner or afterward depending on the dynamism and variables that often come with game development.

Sure Affinity has long been a close partner of Microsoft, working on various Halo titles from Halo ii, through to the Master Chief Drove to Halo Infinite. I've received some separate hints that Sure Affinity may also be working on a new game mode for Halo Infinite, which could be a take on the popular battle royale formula or something completely different entirely.

Either way, it seems that Microsoft intends to extend their friendship with Certain Analogousness past greenlighting this new IP, which CA has been teasing and hiring for some time according to LinkedIn profiles and chore listings on their ain website. Given the evolution timelines, it could be a while before we see this game formally revealed, merely as a fan of Monster Hunter, I can safely say my interest is piqued.
