Ubisoft among bidders for Microsoft's Arkane Studios, Bloomberg reports
Techmeme highlighted Bloomberg reporting that Ubisoft and at least two other game companies have offered to buy Arkane Studios from Microsoft.
Ubisoft Entertainment and at least two other video-game companies have made offers to Microsoft to acquire Arkane Studios, the French developer of the Dishonored series, according to Bloomberg reporting highlighted by Techmeme on Tuesday1.
The Bloomberg account, by Jason Schreier, cites people familiar with the negotiations and says Microsoft's gaming unit is looking to divest the studio1.
Terms of any offers, the identities of the other bidders, and whether Microsoft will accept a bid were not in the assigned Techmeme item1.
It was not independently confirmed in that coverage whether a sale would keep Arkane's in-progress projects intact1.
