Gamasutra spoke with Arkane Studios' Raphael Colantonio about how he got started at Electronic Arts, the gaming industry in France, Arx Fatalis and other role-playing games, and his work on Dark Messiah:

"It was restrictive, because we had to work with the limits that were given by them, even though they were willing to let it be revived and reshaped. We took part in that. They’re building a global franchise with Heroes of Might and Magic and the game, so they were really involved in the process."

Celestial Heavens also published a discussion between Raphael and arturchix earlier this year. Here's hoping the Arkane team will be involved in the Might and Magic franchise again in the future.
