The future of Arkane Studios is uncertain at this time. Indeed, the French studio based in Lyon is expected to soon no longer be owned by Xbox. The American company wants to part ways with it as soon as possible after successfully spinning off Compulsion Games, Double Fine, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory.

In an article published by The Verge, we learn that Marvel’s Blade has significantly exceeded its initial budget and has been delayed internally. This has led Xbox to reevaluate its partnership with the studio, which may be sold off.

Asha Sharma, president of Xbox, stated that Arkane has begun mandatory consultations "with its Works Council to review potential strategic options." These discussions could last several months.

As a result, it remains unclear what will become of the developer and its game Marvel’s Blade, which has not yet been canceled.
