Arkane Studios, developer of games like Dishonored 2 and Prey, are likely working on a new AAA immersive sim. As noticed by Twitter userMauroNL3, there are several job listingsopenfor Arkane Austin and Arkane Lyon.

Some of the job listings for positions at Arkane Austin mention working on “our next AAA title.” The listings also mention Arkane’s trademark “immersive simulation and emergent gameplay,” as well as calling for experience with Unreal Engine 4.

This isn’t too surprising. Arkane Lyon co-developed Wolfenstein: Youngblood with MachineGames and is also working on the timedPS5console exclusiveDeathloop, while Arkane Austin’s last project was the Prey: Mooncrash expansion that released in 2018.

It’s good to see that fans of Arkane Studios can continue tolook forward to immersive sims. Arkane Studios is part of ZeniMax Media, which is beingacquired by Microsoft. As a result, Arkane Studios is now a part of Xbox Game Studios. The agreement for Deathloop is being honored but moving forward, new Arkane Studios titles will release day and date in Xbox Game Pass.

Like father, like daughter.

Years after the events of the original Dishonored, a vicious coup sees power usurped in Dunwall. As Emily Kaldwin or her father Corvo Attano, exact vengeance and take back what’s yours.
