Arkane yllättyi Microsoftin ostettua Bethesdan, mutta on iloinen kaupan tuomista mahdollisuuksista

Bethesda on ollut muutaman viikon virallisesti Microsoftin omistuksessa. Samaisen diilin seurauksena Microsoftille siirtyi myös Arkane. Press-Startin haastattelussa ranskalaisen Arkanen Dinga Bakaba (Deathloop-pelin ohjaaja) kertoi yllättyneensä kuultuaan kaupasta.

"It was pretty surprising, I would say. It was unexpected, to an extent... [but] after the surprise, it made a lot of sense."

Bakaba on erityisen tyytyväinen Xbox Game Passiin.

"Being able to be apart of the Xbox Gamepass ecosystem makes things a bit different for us, because we can occupy a space in that service, and we will continue to make the kind of games that we make and make them well. If you've looked on social media, you'll see that games like Prey and Dishonored 1 and 2 coming to Xbox Game Pass, a lot of people are saying that you need to play these games and have no excuse not to, so it's been very encouraging."

It's a service that will allow us to remain creative and have the audience and build that relationship over time and that's really exciting."

Arkanen Deathloop julkaistaan 21. toukokuuta PC:lle ja Playstation 5:lle. Oletettavasti Deathloop saapuu Xboxille sitten joskus myöhemmin.
