Looking at the Arkane Studios Lyon job openings it looks like they are starting to hire for their next project after Deathloop. 2 of the 3 openings available in Lyon mention "Arkane studios Lyon is seeking talented Engine Programmers to join us for a new unannounced project." Arkane Studios Austin is also hiring "to join our team in developing our next AAA title!". Its unclear what this entails but the engine programmer listing says "our style of immersive simulation and emergent gameplay creates many challenges.", which could indicate another immersive sim like Prey/Dishonored. The lead tech animator listing asks for UE4 experience which could indicate an engine shift (Arkane previously used idTech and Source Engine hybrids). The Senior Gameplay programmer asks "expertise with network and online features a plus" The Server Engine listing also heavily imply online components: "Extensive experience developing online games is required", "Experience in a "Live" environment (ongoing support of a product after launch)", "At least one AAA title shipped as a contributing online engineer" Arkane Lyon previously made Dishonored 2 (2017) and is currently finishing Deathloop (2021), while Arkane Austin last made Prey (2017). Both studios also assisted on Fallout 76, Wolfenstein Youngblood and Wolfenstein Cyberpilot.

Please be prey.

The moon crash dlc out of no where gave me a hope that the first wasn't as big a failure at it seemed.

How about new IPs? I'd rather that than prey or dishonered.. Death loop is basically dishonered, but with an awesome new coat of paint. I want more of that freshness.

Arkane deserves all the love and I look forward to more of their future projects

Dishonored, Prey, new IP... Whatever they'll make, I'll trust they'll do great

Microsoft should work something out with Nightdive and Tencent so these guys can work on System Shock 3.

Where does it say "2 unannounced games"? The way I read it is that there are "2 openings (ie. job positions) available for AN unannounced project".

Where are you guys getting the "two games" thing from?

The most likely answer to me, is probably Deathloop 2.

Give me that Prey 2, of course, but also throw in the Dishonored spin-off title that explores the Pandyssian continent. When Arkane's idea of a whale is this:

I want to see what other flora and fauna they can come up with.
