The Japanese version of Inside Xbox will end next month via a series of four special episodes, culminating with a finale on July 26. The end of the series comes two months after the North American and European versions ended after four and half years. Thanks, Andriasang.

Explosive Alan Productions, which was formed by members of the now defunct Inside Xbox team, has raised $16,762 towards a new multi-format show which for the time being is codenamed Project Possum. Formed by Ashley Denton, Dan Maher and Gareth Wild, the fellas asked for contributions to the project via IndieGoGo instead of Kickstarter – due to the former accepting PayPal – setting a crowd-funding goal of $10,000. Within no time at all hardly, the project met its funding and there are still 30 days left to contribute.

Microsoft Europe’s Chris Lewis has said the firm ditched Inside Xbox due to the show no longer being fitting with its plans for Xbox 360.

Inside Xbox vets Dan Maher, Ashley Denton and Gareth Wild have formed a new production company called Explosive Alan Productions. Details are scarce at the moment, but the group will be filming the Square Enix community event tomorrow. Microsoft halted production of Indie Xbox earlier this month, much to the dismay of the community. Thanks, MCV.

Microsoft has announced it will discontinue production of Inside Xbox in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Xbox Live in EMEA is currently looking at its operating model for the series, which according to Major Nelson “could potentially result in some changes, but we have no news here to share yet.” Xbox Live in Mexico and Japan will continue to produce first-party content for its members via other media outside of the Inside Xbox brand. The firm will be “leveraging third-party news and video content available through a variety of existing and future partners,” such as IGN, and supplementing said content with “select first-party offerings.” Shows like Major’s Minute, Featured Videos and Insider Moves packaged under the Inside Xbox brand will be culled as well.

Microsoft’s confirmed to VG247 that Inside Xbox went live in eight extra European countries yesterday.

The online 360 magazine is now available in Denmark, Finland, Holland, Norway and Sweden, and in multiple languages in Austria, Belgium and Switzerland.

Up to yesterday, the service was viewable in America, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Taiwan.

To take a look, just boot up your 360 and navigate to the Inside Xbox channel.
