Arkane union blames Blade delays on hiring freeze, says work is going fine

True Gaming reported that Arkane Lyon was struggling to finish Marvel’s Blade, with completion not expected soon. TechPowerUp, relaying the union’s account, described a different picture: members said a 19-month hiring freeze caused delays and extra costs, but that work on Blade was going fine and its expected quality was on par with Arkane’s earlier games. The union says Microsoft is now citing the delays and costs as economic grounds for closing the studio.
