Arkane Studios at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile to understand who Arkane Studios is, you will find a French developer founded in 1999 that has been active from 2002 through 2021. They have released 17 games on our platform, all developed in-house without publishing any titles themselves. Their work spans three decades, though the volume changed significantly over time. The studio produced only three games during the 2000s, jumped to ten releases in the 2010s, and slowed down to just two titles in the 2020s so far. Arkane focuses heavily on Adventure games with fourteen entries, followed by Role-playing games at eleven and Shooters at ten. They also made four Puzzle games and two Fighting games. Their output is primarily aimed at PC gamers, appearing on Microsoft Windows for fourteen of their titles. They also have a strong presence on PlayStation 4 with nine games and Xbox One with eight. Smaller numbers appear on Xbox 360, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 3, and the original Xbox. The quality of their work is generally high across the ten titles that have received ratings on IGDB. The average score sits at 81.5 out of 100. Six of these rated games are considered great with scores above 80, while four others are good, falling between 60 and 79. There are no mixed or poor-rated games in their catalog on this platform. Their highest-scoring title is Dishonored: Death of the Outsider Deluxe Bundle from 2017, which holds a 90/100 rating. The original Dishonored (2012) follows closely at 87.6, while Deathloop (2021) and Dishonored 2 (2016) both scored above 85. Prey from May 2017 is rated slightly lower at 78.1 but still falls into the good category. While their bio mentions teams in Lyon and Austin and claims a reputation for engaging action, the data shows a clear pattern of strong critical reception for their major releases. The studio maintains a consistent track record without releasing any poorly received games on our platform.
