I was knighted in the French Order Of Merit by Videogame legend @EricChahi. Thank you @DBakaba for letting us use @ArkaneStudios Lyon’s office. What a treat to see you all again and thank you @thedigitallounge for the nice speech and friendship

We’ll reveal a bit more about our next game in a few days… Fans of the previous 1st person games I was involved with (Dishonored and Prey) will be happy.

Exactly 25 years ago. A bunch of friends and I started the company of our dreams called Arkane Studios, having no idea someday it would celebrate its 25th anniversary. I’m not part of Arkane anymore, but it’s still in my heart. Sending love to all my friends keeping it alive.

Stalker2 is not perfect but it’s my Game Of The Year. The atmosphere, the brutality of the world, the survival, the free form exploration… Last game I enjoyed before this was BG3

I stand by what I said. And for context, I left Arkane in 2017, so I was not affected (other than emotionally) by the closing of Arkane Austin, but I voice my opinion when asked and I have empathy for my friends and former employees who were still working at Arkane Austin.

Microsoft closing Arkane Austin was a 'dumb move', says founder and former president. trib.al/FkI5kvI

The Metacritic ecosystem encourages devs to make safe boring games. As long as a game is polished at launch, you’re guaranteed a 80%, no matter how boring the game might be. Meanwhile Stalker2 gets a 73 because it’s a bit rough on the edges at launch. Unfair, misleading..

Baldur's Gate 3 reminded me that I actually STILL love playing games. I feel like I'm 16 years old again. I kind of forgot what it feels like after so many years of drought. thank you @larianstudios

RIP Viktor Antonov. I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise lime this hits us. You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories

Emotions aside (future tweet), MS proves to be short sighted in that instance, they have infinite money and could have waited for Arkane Austin to do it again, which they would have. It will cost valuable Gamer Credits to MS and reinforce the evil corp image. Bad move. Baffling

A bit more teasing… Demoing the new game to potential publishing partners.

Replying to @SmashJT
Is it what influencers do these days? Trashing games before they even come out? That’s new to me, but I’m not gonna lie, if it’s a trend, it’s a bit scary
