Arkane Lyon faces possible closure: 217 jobs at risk as Marvel's Blade future remains uncertain
Arkane Lyon's next game may never reach players under the circumstances its creators originally imagined. According to an investigation published by Le Monde on October 23, 2026, Microsoft has initiated a process that could result in the closure of the French studio, putting approximately 217 jobs at risk. Union representatives are still hoping for a takeover, while Microsoft says it is actively looking for a partner to help complete and commercialize Marvel's Blade. The November 13 deadline is approaching, but closure is not yet a finalized outcome.
