Arkane Lyon Faces Closure Unless It Finds a Buyer by Mid-December

Arkane Lyon, the studio behind Dishonored, Deathloop and Marvel's Blade, could close unless it finds a buyer by mid-December. Microsoft extended the Works Council consultation period by one month, moving the deadline to December 13. Under France's Florange Law, the company must seek a buyer before closing the site.

• Buyer search deadline for Arkane Lyon moved from November 13 to December 13
• The studio is part of ZeniMax Media under the Xbox division
• France's Florange Law requires seeking a buyer before closing a site
• Microsoft says closure documents are part of consultations, not a final decision
