Arkane Studios Announces New Blade Game

During the recent Game Awards, Arkane Studios revealed their latest project. While the studio's next game does incorporate vampires, it is not a sequel to the popular Redfall. Instead, Arkane is creating a Blade game, promising an engaging, third-person adventure.

Blade: Half-Man, Half-Vampire

The new Blade game from Arkane Lyon and Bethesda features Eric Brooks, better known as Blade. The half-man, half-vampire uses his unique abilities to protect the world from the threats posed by vampires. This announcement coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Blade character, who first appeared in The Tomb of Dracula #10 in July 1973.

A Mature, Single-Player Game

Blade is described as a "mature, single-player, third-person" game set in Paris, France. The trailer shows a city in lockdown, with citizens instructed to stay indoors after sunset. Meanwhile, Blade is seen in a barber shop, causing the barber to appear nervous while working on the well-known vampire hunter.

Blade's Dual Existence

Blade is depicted as a character torn between the human society and the powerful world of the undead. The game's trailer on YouTube highlights his struggle.

Blade's Iconic Style

Sebastien Mitton, Co-Creative and Art Director at Arkane Lyon, describes Blade as slick, stylish, and driven, from his trench coat to his iconic sunglasses.

A New Artistic Direction for Arkane

Mitton believes the project is an opportunity to push Arkane's art style into a more modern and bold territory, combining impactful ideas with innovative know-how.

Exclusive to Xbox and PC?

As an Xbox-owned Bethesda game, it is likely to be an Xbox and PC exclusive and may be launched on Game Pass. This could be Xbox's response to PlayStation's Spider-Man franchise. It also adds to the growing list of upcoming Marvel games based on iconic heroes from comic books and films.

Patience for Perfection

No release date has been announced for Arkane's Blade game, and the developers are asking players for patience. Given the impressive trailer and the perfect match of Arkane and Blade, it seems worth the wait for this next big Marvel game.

Early Development Stage

Bethesda confirmed that the game has just started development. Therefore, players may have to wait a while before they can get their hands on it.
