Collaboration with other studios and the impact on Blade
Mitton also recalled when Arkane collaborated with other studios on projects, including some that were never released. For him, these partnerships – both successful and unsuccessful – were fundamental in shaping the evolution of Arkane Studios over the years.
This accumulation of experiences, according to Mitton, will be directly reflected in Marvel's Blade . Thus, the objective is to offer a rich narrative, combined with an immersive and interactive world, a hallmark of titles developed by Arkane.
