Rafael Colantonioone of the main developers and creators of the Dishonored and Prey series, thug an interview publication The Gamerin which he shared an opinion about the closure of the company Microsoft studies Arkane Austin.
Colantonio says he was shocked by the news of the studio’s closure:
I didn’t expect this at all. I think it’s a shame. Arkane has proven everything many times… Before Redfall, he released Prey. The studio has shown that it can produce a good game if given the chance to do what it was designed to do.
It amazes me how Microsoft sees things from such a narrow perspective. She looks to the bottom. When you have unlimited money, you have to give an opportunity that might work. Arkane Austin had a lot of good developers, so it’s a shame.
But when you sell a company to giants like that, they don’t operate with the same logic that the rest of the world understands. They have their own feeling. They have different rules that are difficult to fully understand. When you sell them a studio, things like that can happen. They can take your franchises and just shut you down.
At this time, Colantonio and his studio Eye Wolf busy developing a new immersive role-playing gamewhich is heavily inspired by the Dishonored and Prey series.
