Here, as elsewhere, professional life sometimes consists of departures and promotions. Just weeks after the classic deathloop was released, director Dinga Bakaba is gaining ground thanks to a strong start.
The information fell at the beginning of the week: After 17 years in the Lyon studio Arkane, director Romuald Capron announced his departure Latest profile LinkedIn
After more than 16 years of helping Arkane Studios grow Lyon and become the world class AAA studio it is today, it has been a very difficult decision. I felt the urge to try something new and have a little more time for myself and my family. I am very proud of what we have achieved with this incredible team. The successful launch of Deathloop is just one more piece of evidence that Arkane, which has a unique place in our industry, has a very bright future ahead of it.
It is the power of Z ♫
Far from the generally violent productions of Lyon, Capron joins the start-up PowerZ, who specializes in educational games and has raised around seven million dollars for development this summer, according to our colleagues at Games industry.
Because of this, the director of Deathloop and producer of the intestinal Dishonored 2 Dinga Bakaba was promoted to director., just weeks after the launch of one of the last games to debut on PS5 before Microsoft’s takeover of Bethesda was enforced. As the profile LinkedIn of the lucky ones, Bakaba will initially keep his cap as co-creative director alongside the artistic director Sébastien Mitton.
That little professional musical chair number reminds us that if Arkane Austin’s Texan office is currently working on the multiplayer FPS Redfall expected for PC and Xbox Series in 2022, the puzzle is completely above the project that is currently maturing in France. .. Needless to say, we can’t wait to find out. Not you ?
