## Key points

- At least two other gaming companies have made offers.
- A sale could help Arkane continue work on Marvel’s Blade.

## Summary

Ubisoft is reportedly among several companies seeking to buy Arkane, the studio behind Dishonored, from Xbox. A sale could spare the studio from closure and keep its team working on Marvel’s Blade, though no deal has been confirmed.

Bloomberg reports that at least two other unnamed gaming companies have also made offers, while Xbox has considered selling Arkane to its own management. The search for a buyer followed layoffs and studio closures in July; a French law reportedly required Xbox to seek a buyer before shutting Arkane. Microsoft extended the search deadline by a month to explore options for supporting the studio, which is developing Marvel’s Blade. Ubisoft is also facing financial pressure, layoffs and closures.
