Key Points:
- Arkane Studios, facing a proposed closure, has a November 13 deadline for consultations under France’s Florange Law, with around 217 jobs at risk.
- Microsoft is reportedly seeking a partner to take over Arkane Studios to support the development and commercialization of the upcoming Marvel’s Blade project.
- Several takeover options are being considered, according to Arkane’s sole union representative, as the studio’s Social and Economic Committee concludes its consultation process.
- Marvel’s Blade, announced in 2023 and nearing the end of production, is viewed by unions as a significant project that would be a major loss if not released.
- The information comes from union sources and Le Monde’s reporting, with Microsoft confirming its active search for a partner but not directly commenting on closure plans.
