Marvel Shares The First Official Look at Our New Blade

It’s been a long silence since the announcement of Marvel’s Blade by Arkane Studios almost a year ago. Fans have been left hanging with hardly any updates or a release date, but recently, Arkane Studios delivered a pleasant surprise.

The game was first unveiled at The Game Awards in 2023, hinting at an exciting collaboration involving Arkane Studios, Bethesda, and Xbox. They introduced Marvel’s Blade with a brief trailer that promises a fresh narrative drawn from the rich comic book lore.

This action-packed title is set to immerse players in the world of Eric Brooks, the legendary Daywalker who is half-man, half-vampire, caught between living society and the undead’s allure.

Produced by Arkane Lyon along with Bethesda — the teams behind hits like Dishonoured and Deathloop — Marvel’s Blade is a mature, single-player, third-person game, set in Paris. Despite the initial excitement, details about the game have been sparse since its teaser last December.

However, we finally got a new glimpse of the titular character thanks to art shared by Sébastien Mitton, art/co-creative director at Arkane. The artwork features a lineup of characters from Arkane’s past games, with Blade positioned in the back-left, sporting his iconic glasses and vampire fangs. This is the first look at Arkane’s rendition of Blade since the game’s teaser.

Unfortunately, the reveal didn’t come with any additional information about the game’s release. We still don’t know when it will be available, leaving us eager but still in the dark about the exact timing.

At least we now know Arkane hasn’t forgotten about Blade, keeping the anticipation alive among us. The wait continues, but the excitement has definitely been rekindled with this latest peek at what’s to come in Marvel’s Blade.
