## Summary

Arkane Studios may leave Microsoft, with Ubisoft and at least two other gaming companies reportedly bidding to buy it. The possible sale could give the studio a chance to continue working after concerns that Xbox’s layoffs might lead to its closure or the cancellation of its current project.

Xbox told Bloomberg it was exploring options ahead of a December deadline, including a possible sale to Arkane’s own management. The studio is developing a game based on Marvel’s Blade, announced with a cinematic trailer in 2023; Ubisoft has also made several rounds of job cuts this year.
