Ubisoft is one of at least three companies exploring potential acquisition of Arkane Studios, as reported by Bloomberg. Microsoft has extended the deadline for Arkane to secure a buyer until December.
The potential deal could prevent Arkane's closure, preserving up to 217 jobs and allowing completion of Marvel's Blade. Microsoft has not finalized any agreement, with discussions ongoing among multiple bidders.
Xbox previously divested Arkane as part of a broader restructuring, alongside studios like Double Fine and Compulsion Games. No decision has been made about Arkane's future as the December deadline approaches.
