“Arkane Lyon Faces Closure by November 13 Unless Buyer Found, Union Fights to Save Jobs” — what this page in the network covers. Arkane Lyon, the renowned French studio behind Dishonored, Deathloop, and the upcoming Marvel's Blade, could be shut down within weeks if no buyer is found by the November 13 deadline, according to a report from Le Monde. Microsoft's three-month search for a buyer, mandated by France's Florange Law, is reportedly going 'badly,' prompting worker unions to explore options to delay closure and preserve jobs. The studio, which has operated for 27 years, is still developing Marvel's Blade, with a planned reveal in early 2027 and release in Q4 2027, but its future now hangs in the balance.
Union strategies include re-employing staff at other Xbox studios or taking legal action against Microsoft. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier corroborated that 'multiple paths' are being explored and expressed doubt the studio will close.
