WolfEye Studios boss and Arkane founder Raphael Colantonio understandably remains frustrated by Microsoft's decision to kill off Arkane Austin earlier this year. Colantonio started Arkane back in 1999, which grew into two studios, Arkane Lyon and Arkane Austin, in 2006. His last game, before departing the company in 2017, was the whip-smart, extremely paranoid sci-fi romp Prey.
The Austin team would only produce one more game, the unsuccessful Redfall, before its new owner, Microsoft, closed its doors. Jeremy Peel recently caught up with Colantonio for a wide-ranging interview—which you can read more of over the next week—and one of the biggest disappointments for him was how Microsoft broke up so much talent.
