Over the years, Arkane Studios has earned a worldwide reputation through its high quality creations. And just after the launch of Deathloop, an important departure affected the Spanish branch.
With its teams based in Lyon but also in Austin (Texas), Arkane Studios has been able to create exceptional experiences such as Dishonored, Prey and Deathloop. Under the leadership of Bethesda Softworks but also with Xbox since the acquisition of the American publisher, the studio is now turning to Redfall. But while waiting for the release of this new license expected for the summer of 2022, a small change has impacted the Lyon structure.
After 17 years of good and loyal service
Via a press release posted on LinkedIn, Romuald Capron announced his departure from Arkane Lyon, of which he had been head since April 2019. His arrival in the company dates back to 2005 as director of operations. The principal concerned explains that he made this difficult decision in order to “try new things” and to spend more time with his family.
He therefore leaves Arkane Lyon in the hands of several personalities like Dinga Bakaba and Sébastien Mitton, the brains behind Deathloop. At this time, we do not know who will replace Capron.
