Microsoft is only just the publisher The developers who made the game are from the french game studio: Asobo Studio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asobo_Studio

  It’s discussed in the article, though it really should be given a different title because of that. The fact that Asobo is the developer makes it much more impressive. A Plague Tale: Innocence is probably their most technically advanced game (and their...uh...”Rat System” that can handle thousands of rats on screen at once is technically impressive) but it’s nothing like a flight simulator. The article discusses some of the support studios they worked with to develop MFS, which again makes it even more impressive because I don’t think they had much previous experience successfully managing a bunch of support studios to produce a complicated product.

    11 seconds into the trailer of A Plague Tale demonstrates what, I believe, Pulcinella is referring to as the "Rat System": https://store.steampowered.com/app/752590/A_Plague_Tale_Innocence/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/752590/A_Plague_Tale_Inno...

  what is the role of the publisher? Why can't Asobo simply market the game?

    They normally bankroll and distribute the game.

    Publisher pays for making the game, and pockets a proportion of the sales revenue.
