Unrelated but... an Arsène Lupin I game is set to release later this year!

Releasing on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), the “adventure-puzzle” game explores the origins of Arsène, focussing on antics in his younger years, with both Maurice LeBlanc and an older Lupin showing up to account said tales.
