Arx 2. They must do it.
Well, they did buy out the trademark from JoWood...

I'm still holding out for a fully functional Arx development kit. :(
A fan made Arx prequel/sequel would be sweet.

At least let's hope for (

Debunked! Arkane is definitely not working with Irrational right now.

Hi
I have personally talked via forum / email to one of Arkane's developers, and have unfortunately been categorically told that the original engine / or source code or any tools will not ever be released to the public. That is the final word on that matter. Which is a shame really, but that's the way it is.
You may be interested in this article regarding why their site is also bearing the 'under construction' message. ((

They should just send carmack over now, he'll subdue them with his enormous brain and they'll be forced to release the sources.

I honestly wouldn't hold my breath for any source code releases from Id or their sister studios any time soon. After all they announced that they (
http://bit.ly/brlx87) won't be licensing out Id Tech 5 to 3rd parties, unless those games are published by Bethesda SoftWorks.
That being said, they did release Daggerfall as freeware about a year ago. Also it's been confirmed that Rage will ship with the development suite for modders.
