Ubisoft and Other Bidders Express Interest in Microsoft's Arkane Studios
Microsoft is reportedly seeking to divest Arkane Studios as part of a broader strategic 'reset' within its Xbox division. According to Bloomberg, Ubisoft and at least two other unnamed gaming companies have submitted bids for the studio. In addition to external corporate interest, Microsoft has also considered an option to sell the studio directly to its current management team. This move comes amid ongoing restructuring and layoffs within the Xbox ecosystem as the company reevaluates its studio portfolio.
