The first look at the design of the Blade character from Marvel’s upcoming Blade game has been revealed by Arkane Studios, as shown in their 25th Anniversary artwork. See it below.
During the 2023 Game Awards, Arkane Lyon, Bethesda, and Xbox revealed a new game based on Marvel’s Blade, with a teaser trailer.
The Blade game follows Eric Brooks, a.k.a. Blade, a dhampir who has spent his life as “the Daywalker”—a hunter of vampires and other creatures of the night—while struggling with his dual heritage: the warmth of human society and the bloodlust of the undead. The game’s narrative takes him to a quarantine zone in the middle of Paris, France, where a congregation of vampires has emerged to terrorize the city at night, forcing civilians to take shelter inside their homes until sunrise.
According to Bethesda, Marvel’s Blade is a mature—single-player, third-person game set in the heart of Paris—confirmed as an Xbox First Party Marvel Game, available on Game Pass Day One, and an Xbox Ecosystem Exclusive.
Read the synopsis for the Blade game below:
In Marvel’s Blade, Eric Brooks is the legendary Daywalker, half-man, half-vampire torn between the warm society of the living and the rushing power of the undead. From Bethesda and Arkane Lyon, the studio that brought you Dishonored and ‘Deathloop’, Marvel’s Blade is a mature, single-player, third-person game set in the heart of Paris, now in development in collaboration with Marvel Games.
According to insider Jeff Grubb, the Blade game’s current internal release window is 2027. This timeline aligns with a six-year gap since the launch of Arkane Lyon’s previous game, Deathloop.
Grubb said, “Arkane’s Blade. If you’re looking to know when I can play that, then, right now internally, they’re expecting that to be sold on store shelves and digitally in the year 2027.” Grubb added, “That is the year they are aiming for with that game, at least as far as I know what Marvel is marking on their calendar… That means 2027 at the earliest; don’t expect it before that.”
The Blade game is developed exclusively for Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC and will also launch on day one on Xbox Game Pass.
