Exciting news for Marvel fans and gamers alike, Arkane Lyon, renowned for creating immersive gaming experiences with titles like Prey, Deathloop, and Dishonored, is now developing a new game based on Marvel's blade-wielding antihero, Blade. The announcement came during The Game Awards, revealing that this vampire hunter game will unfold in a quarantined section of Paris amidst a supernatural emergency. Players will step into the shoes of Blade to secure the safety of Paris's citizens from vampires.

The new Blade game is also a celebration of the character's fiftieth anniversary. Despite rumors of a possible Dishonored reveal at The Game Awards, the spotlight turned to Blade instead. Although details about the game's release date and platforms are still unknown, it's expected to land on Xbox Series X|S and PC given Arkane's integration into Microsoft. It's not uncommon for licensed games to appear on competing platforms, so there's hope for a broader release. Alongside Blade, there's a surge of Marvel-themed video games in the pipeline, including a Black Panther game by EA, a Wolverine title by Insomniac, and a Captain America game by SkyDance New Media, not to forget about the upcoming Blade movie from Marvel.

Is there a new Blade movie coming out?

Yes, Marvel is currently working on a new Blade movie, which has been in development for a while now.
