Ubisoft is reportedly among several gaming companies interested in acquiring Arkane Studios, the Microsoft-owned developer behind Dishonored and the upcoming Marvel’s Blade.
According to a new Bloomberg report from journalist Jason Schreier, at least three companies have submitted bids for Arkane as Microsoft considers selling the studio.
Ubisoft Among Potential Arkane Studios Buyers
While Ubisoft is one of the interested parties, the identities of the other bidders have not been disclosed.
Microsoft has reportedly also considered selling Arkane to its existing management team, potentially allowing the developer to continue operating independently.
No acquisition agreement has been reached.
The deadline for a potential deal was previously set for November 13, 2026, but has now reportedly been extended to December 13, 2026.
What Happens to Marvel’s Blade?
Arkane is currently developing Marvel’s Blade, an upcoming action-adventure game based on the Marvel character.
According to Bloomberg, any potential acquisition would likely allow the studio to complete development of the project.
However, the game’s release date remains unconfirmed, and a PlayStation 5 version has not been officially announced.
For now, Ubisoft remains one of several potential buyers, with Arkane’s future ownership still undecided.
