The ongoing regime change and reorganization at Xbox hasn't given much cause for confidence in the state of its studios—particularly Arkane Lyon, which has stayed almost entirely out of the public eye since announcing Marvel's Blade at the 2023 Game Awards. The studio was once again absent at this month's Xbox Games Showcase, and the subsequent reports that "several" Microsoft developers are at risk of closure stoked fears that both Arkane and Blade had been quietly put out to pasture.
Bethesda Softworks boss Todd Howard, however, says we needn't worry our silly little heads, because Arkane's work on Marvel's daywalker is proceeding swimmingly.
