Arkane Lyon, the French studio behind Dishonored and Deathloop, is under threat of closure as part of Xbox’s broader restructuring.
Reports say negotiations are ongoing and that various parties are interested in taking over Arkane Lyon, giving the studio a chance to survive. The studio’s current project, Marvel’s Blade, is reported to be nearing completion. Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier said multiple paths are being actively explored to save the studio and that he would be surprised if it were shut down, though anything can happen during negotiations.
