Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Summer Game Fest 2026 finally validated Crossfire after four years of silence.
  • June 2026 previews highlighted PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic distribution.
  • The studio's 230-person team and capture-stage investment signal deep production commitment.

What critics are saying

  • Crossfire still lacks a release date after June 2026, extending revenue risk.
  • Michael Mumbauer left as CEO in 2022, exposing governance instability.
  • If Crossfire misses 2027, Smilegate funding pressure can force a costly studio reset.

What makes That's No Moon Entertainment unique

  • Smilegate backed it with $100 million and retained Crossfire IP control.
  • Taylor Kurosaki and Jacob Minkoff anchor a veteran narrative shooter leadership team.
  • Crossfire emphasizes single-player cinematic storytelling, Adaptive Cover, and no microtransactions.
