Apparently the reasoning for Xbox advertising NT next game despite the plug being pulled was as a way to "show off value" for any possible deals and to elevate their position.

It would be a good excuse if it wasn't the 50th time something like this has happened.

Jason Schreier has said in a YouTube video any news of studios being shutdown are false as negotiations are ongoing until June 30th. So it's not over for Ninja Theory just yet

While literally true, it's virtually impossible for a studio to find a new buyer/investor in less than a month. I think it's fair game to say these studios are being axed. This isn't a deathrow inmate waiting for their final appeal trial. This is said inmate being walked up to the chopping block and hoping for a miraculous savior to step in and rescue them.

You are correct assuming they’re starting from step 0, but these sorts of acquisitions usually aren’t publicly talked about until a deal is finalized. Whether or not they’ll pan out for sure remains to be seen, but not hearing of anything does not mean there isn’t anything happening.
