Xbox-owned developer inXile Entertainment has confirmed that no employees were injured following a drive-by shooting at the office complex housing its studio in Tustin, California. The incident occurred on November 11, 2026, with local police confirming that a suspect was taken into custody on November 13.
The shooting took place at Flight at Tustin Legacy, a commercial office campus occupied by several businesses, including inXile, the Microsoft-owned developer behind the Wasteland series and upcoming role-playing game Clockwork Revolution.
Aftermath independently investigated the incident after receiving an anonymous tip. The publication contacted the Tustin Police Department and obtained statements from both law enforcement and inXile confirming the shooting and the absence of reported injuries.
According to Tustin Police Sergeant Christopher Peterson, officers responded to reports of a drive-by shooting on November 11 and discovered multiple shell casings at the location. Investigators subsequently processed the crime scene and identified a suspect, who was arrested on Friday, November 13.
Initial local reporting indicated that gunfire struck windows across multiple floors of a commercial building at the complex. NBC Los Angeles also reported that investigators had recovered approximately five to eight shell casings from the scene.
However, authorities have not established publicly whether inXile itself was the intended target. The shooter’s motive and the circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation.
In a statement provided directly to Aftermath, an inXile spokesperson confirmed that its employees were safe.
“We’re relieved that no one was hurt at our inXile office,” the spokesperson said. “Our focus is on supporting our team, and we are working closely with law enforcement as they investigate.”
The developer has not announced any changes to its operations or development schedule following the shooting.
InXile Entertainment became part of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios organization following its acquisition in 2018. The studio is currently developing Clockwork Revolution, a first-person steampunk RPG involving time manipulation and choices that can alter the game’s world.
Clockwork Revolution is scheduled for release in 2027. There is currently no indication that the shooting has affected its development or planned launch.
The Tustin Police Department’s investigation remains ongoing. Although a suspect has been arrested, authorities have not publicly established a motive or confirmed that any specific business within the office complex was targeted.
