Arkane Studios, which was working on the Blade game, could be shut down if it doesn’t find a buyer.

Microsoft’s machete is still sharp, and it may claim another victim.

According to a unionized staff member, the studio’s leadership has until November 13 to find a buyer.

After that, Microsoft may decide to close the studio and lay off its 213 employees.

The same employee said Marvel’s Blade was already close to the end of production.

That could mean we would soon get a gameplay reveal and a release date or window.
