Le Monde reports Arkane Lyon has until November 13 to find a buyer, with 217 jobs at risk

Le Monde reported that Microsoft plans to close Arkane Lyon, with November 13 the official end date for consultations with the Social and Economic Committee, putting 217 jobs at risk. Unions said Microsoft leaves them no choice and argued the studio is doing well, contradicting years of financial statements heard in the Works Council. They hope to extend the deadlines for the redundancy plan and buyer search, say several takeover forms are being considered, and have not ruled out challenging the closure's economic justification in court.
