Microsoft has extended the deadline for Arkane Lyon to find a new buyer, giving the developer more time to finish Marvel's Blade, a game it has been working on since 2023.
The studio had until November 18 to find a new owner, but Microsoft is now exploring options to support Arkane Lyon, including finding a partner to help it complete the game.
Bloomberg's Jason Schreier believes that shutting down Arkane Lyon would be expensive for Microsoft, and that the studio is likely to be saved, with multiple paths being explored to save it.
