AI Summary

Arkane Lyon, the studio behind Dishonored and Deathloop, has been given a deadline of November to secure a buyer, after which it will be closed if no deal is reached. The studio’s predicament stems from the sweeping layoffs announced by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma earlier this year, part of a broader “reset” that began in July and threatens several first‑party developers. Microsoft confirmed that the restructuring will ultimately affect 3,200 Xbox employees, while Double Fine, Undead Labs and Compulsion Games have negotiated to become independent studios.
