Narrative Architect Cut From Gears of War: E-Day Just Before Early Access

This move is part of a larger workforce reduction affecting hundreds of employees within the Xbox division. The timing is particularly notable given the imminent release of the game, underscoring the aggressive restructuring currently taking place across Microsoft's gaming portfolio.
