Bleeding Edge was a fascinating game from Microsoft and storied developer Ninja Theory that heavily borrowed from titles like Overwatch. While the game had a ton of potential for greatness like mentioned in ourBleeding Edge review, it severely lacked content at launch. Ninja Theory never quite delivered on the promise of future support, either, and now it looks like Bleeding Edge will never live up to its potential. The Bleeding Edge team announced today that the game will no longer receive any further content updates moving forward.
With the studio now focusing on our new projects (Senua’s Saga, Project Mara & The Insight Project) we have decided that there will be no further content updates for Bleeding Edge. The game is still playable on Xbox and PC. Thank you to the fans & keep teaming up & causing chaos!With the studio now focusing on our new projects (Senua’s Saga, Project Mara & The Insight Project) we have decided that there will be no further content updates for Bleeding Edge.

Bleeding Edge will continue to be fully playable on Xbox and PC, so players who are still enjoying the game can keep fighting. However, there will no longer be any new content for the game, as Ninja Theory pivots to focus entirely on other projects likeSenua’s Saga: Hellblade II,Project Mara, and more.
While this development is unfortunate, it did appear to be inevitable. Our own Jez Corden wrote about howBleeding Edge had seemingly been abandoned by Ninja Theory and Microsoftin October of last year, and little has changed since then.
