## Summary

Ubisoft and at least two other companies have reportedly made early-stage offers to buy Arkane Studios from Microsoft. A sale could provide the Dishonored developer with new backing to finish Marvel’s Blade, as Microsoft considers options for several Xbox studios.

The offers’ terms and the amount of work remaining on Blade are unknown, with reports differing on the game’s progress. Arkane’s future has been uncertain since at least September, and Xbox recently extended its deadline to explore options for the studio. Ubisoft, like Arkane, is based in France and makes games with stealth-action elements, but it is also undergoing its own restructuring.
