Arkane Lyon has announced its newest project, Blade, at The Game Awards 2023.
The game is described as a “mature action-adventure single-player game” where players get to play Blade “their own way”.
“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,” the game’s description reads.
“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.”
No release date or platform confirmation was confirmed, but you can expect it to be on both Xbox and PC.
You can watch the trailer below:
The title has been an open secret these past couple of days, with community members far and wide teasing the impending announcement. I even had a go at teasing myself along with our own Mike Straw.

Why didn’t it have Xbox listed? Is this multi platform because of Marvel?
As a PC/Sony user, it’s really nice to see the Xbox instal base get some quality games announced tonight. Especially getting their own superhero title to parallel blade. Congrats guys!
I don’t trust Arkane at all especially since this looks cartoony and Blade in France is a bit weird to me. If this bombs I wonder if they finally close the studio down. I’m more curious about Machine Games they haven’t made anything in a while is Wolfenstein 3 happening? Indiana Jones seems far away. Also id and the leaked Doom game was hoping that would show up and Roundhouse Studios those guys haven’t done anything and it’s been almost 5 years since they joined Bethesda. I hope Evil Within 3 is happening.
I was hoping Xbox would get something else like make a third person open world Spawn game or The Darkness or both. Give it to someone like Infinity Ward and Treyarch.
I wanted Xbox to get the DC license I mean maybe that’s still a possibility for Xbox really want that open world AAA Batman Beyond game.
If they got Blade can they get Punisher next just have someone make it Infinity Ward, id Software, Machine Games, Undead Labs whoever just make sure it’s Garth Ennis’s MAX Punisher gritty.
Microsoft got the Blade license from Marvel and they own High Moon Studios it would be awesome if they could get the Deadpool license finally make Deadpool 2 hire Joe Casey to write.
Hear me out let Beenox or Treyarch make a Spider-Man 2099 game Sony keeps Miles and Peter but Microsoft gets Miguel he’s a different character and in the future or how about a Ghost Rider game open world and finally let Radical make a new Hulk game.
Is this the rumored Disney license Bethesda game we heard about or is that separate? Also I remember hearing rumors that The Coalition was making something based on LucasArts IP is that still a thing?
