Xbox weighs canceling Blade game and shuttering Arkane

Microsoft is preparing to announce significant layoffs across its Xbox studios next week. Reports indicate these measures may result in studio closures, spinoffs, potential mergers, and the cancellation of several games. Specifically, Microsoft is considering the closure of at least five studios, including Arkane Studios. This potential move could lead to the cancellation of the highly anticipated Marvel's Blade game, which has been in development by the French developer for several years.
