Jurassic World 3 Won’t Have Hybrid Dinosaurs
Jurassic World 3 is doing away with hybrid dinosaurs.

Microsoft Hiring With a Focus on First-Party AAA Exclusives
Microsoft job listings suggest the company is turning its focus towards developing AAA exclusive titles for its console.
The listing is for a principal program manager in Santa Monica, and the candidate will be tasked with growing "internal studio talent" and working to help build a "new franchise."
It also calls for experience "shipping high quality titles at AAAA standards" (that's a direct quote - it's unclear if it's intentionally worded that way) and a "knowledge and understanding of the process of building new IP."
Microsoft has drawn criticism for its lack of first-party titles in the past. At the end of last ear, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said that Microsoft would be investing in studios to make more first-party games. Spencer said that the renewed focus on first-party exclusives would involve either buying or creating new development studios.
