On Nov. 11, a gunman reportedly opened fire at the inXile office building in Tustin, California, with XBOX now saying no one was injured in the incident. Police have since apprehended the suspect, but motives are still not clear.
As NBC Los Angeles reported, a gunman had opened fire at a “commercial complex in Tustin” earlier this week on Nov. 11. “Several bullets struck at least one building in the area,” which seems to be inXile’s offices. At the time the gunman was said to have fled the scene, but Aftermath confirmed today that they were in custody. The police responded to the incident immediately after reports came of an alleged drive-by shooting.

A spokesperson for inXile told Aftermath: “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 “where and why” are still under investigation,” the local police told Aftermath, and it is still unclear whether inXile itself was being targeted.
This is a developing story and will provide more details as soon as we have them.
InXile is best-known for its work on Wasteland 2 and 3, and Torment: Tides of Numenera (one of the coolest stories in RPG if you love isometrics). The studio became part of the XBOX Game Studios group in 2018, and is currently working on Clockwork Revolution, which is set to release sometime next year.
