Welcome to Arkane 20
A Note From Arkane Studios
s opened its doors in Lyon, France, eventually branching out to a second studio in Austin, Texas. Twenty years of tears, laughter and perfectionism, resulting in lush worlds, memorable stories and a dedication to player freedom. The teams in Lyon and Austin are delighted to have transported you to so many strange, compelling worlds over these last two decades. From the grim dungeons of Arx Fatalis and the corrupted majesty of Dunwall, to the sun-soaked vistas of Karnaca and the eerie corridors of Talos I, we’re truly honored you’ve chosen to come along with us on these journeys.*
Things are difficult for many of us right now, sequestered in our homes, worried and isolated. But we believe games bring people together, and we believe better days lie ahead. We're happy to be a part your lives, offering you a bit of entertainment to brighten your day, or giving you something deeper, some sublime encounter, drawing us all together through our common joys and our common pains.
We make games because we love them, but also because we thrive on seeing your reactions and hearing your stories. So here's to 20 more years. May you all stay safe and continue to experience the joy of games. We can’t wait to show you what comes next, both in DEATHLOOP and in other projects to come.
What Is the Arkane 20 Celebration?
Join us over the next few weeks for a look behind the scenes at the people behind the games you love. We’ll have exclusive developer interviews and dig into the history of the studio as well as the creation and evolution of their unique development philosophies. We’ll have giveaways, videos, secrets, AMAs, sales and so much more to share with you in the coming days.
