In my opinion, Arkane Studios is one of the most talented studios to date. From Dishonored to Prey, Arkane’s games always put emphasis on player freedom. And today, NoClip shared a one-hour documentary about Arkane Studios. This documentary tell the story of Arkane’s twenty year history.
What’s also interesting here is that this documentary features exclusive first looks at the gameplay of three cancelled projects. These three projects are: The Crossing, LMNO & the Half-Life spin-off “Ravenholm”.
Half-Life 2: Episode 4 or Half-Life Ravenholm was a Half-Life 2 game that Arkane Studios was working on. This was meant to be a zombie game that would take place in Ravenholm. According to Marc Laidlaw, Arkane presented some prototypes of this game back in 2007. However, Valve eventually decided that it didn’t make sense to pursue it at the time.
In case you weren’t aware of, Arkane is the studio behind Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. The team also worked on the second BioShock game, as well as on Call of Duty: World at War.
We rarely share documentaries but I believe you’ll agree that this is an amazing one. Let’s at least hope that Arkane’s new game won’t suffer from Dishonored 2’s optimization issues.
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

SJW filth like Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider plus contributing toward the dumpster fire that was Fallout 76?
Metro Exodus was the only recent game that wasn’t cucked. Strong family values, marriage, homeland and exclusively white people only. That studio might give some hope for sane people
mate listen
There was some medieval mmo a while ago and i wondered “how come the female characters look attractive”….it was made in korea. Then you got metro exodus and sniper ghost warrior contracts and terminator salvation, all of those were made in eastern europe. Try it when you see a game with attractive female characters…its not made in the west
Cdprojekt is 75% foreigners now.
75% of the devs are foreigners, cant wait to see what piranha bytes will make.
arkane was talented, not anymore. Also yes the ceo listened to anita sarkeesian this is why dishonored 2 and death of the outsider is the way it is.
Arkane started as a french localization studio, they wanted to make ultima underground but ubisoft didnt give them the license so they make arx fatalis. The person who started this left the studio after prey and now is making a top down wild west game focused in choices.
arkane ceo hired a feminist to write the story in death of the outsider.
Loved the Dishonored series and Prey great studio.
Here hoping for Prey 2!
prey 2 was pitched to bethesda and it was canceled. Sadly no prey 2.
the best studio out there right now imo.
I’m still waiting for another Arx Fatalis, or Dark Messiah, or both, I really don’t mind. ?
