Xbox agrees to union request and extends Arkane Lyon consultation to December, with 217 jobs at stake
As beloved Dishonored studio faces closure, Xbox agrees union request to extend negotiations deadline in hope of saving 217 jobs
Microsoft has extended Arkane Lyon's consultation period from the original 13th November deadline to December as it continues looking for a buyer; without one, 217 jobs are at risk. A Microsoft representative confirmed the extension to PC Gamer and said filings about ceasing operations and redundancies are part of the required consultation process rather than a final decision. Unions say Marvel's Blade is almost complete, while a PC Gamer source claims it still has years to go.
