The shots were fired at inXile Entertainment's building around 1:13 p.m. on Nov. 11, with the Tustin Police Department calling it a drive-by shooting on its official Facebook account. That same post reveals that "Extensive crime scene processing was conducted, and detectives immediately began investigating to identify and locate a suspect," and that a suspect was taken into custody on the morning of Nov. 13. Aftermath then reported on the incident on Nov. 13, confirming the details with Tustin police, who said the investigation is still ongoing. While inXile Entertainment has yet to address the situation on social media, the studio did provide a statement to both Aftermath and Kotaku. "We’re relieved that no one was hurt at our inXile office. Our focus is on supporting our team, and we are working closely with law enforcement as they investigate," the statement from inXile Entertainment reads. According to an X post spotted by Kotaku, inXile Entertainment moved into the Tustin-based studio in 2020. This move came less than two years after the RPG developer, which was founded by Interplay's Brian Fargo in 2002, was acquired by Xbox Game Studios. You most likely know the studio for its work on the Wasteland games, The Bard's Tale 4: Barrows Deep, and Torment: Tides of Numenera. The studio's last game, the post-apocalyptic role-playing game Wasteland 3, came out in 2020. Microsoft still owns inXile Entertainment, and it is currently working on Clockwork Revolution. As of now, this situation has not had an impact on the game's 2027 release window on PC and Xbox Series X. More importantly, everyone who is working on the game at that studio is safe.
