There are so many games being announced that older reveals have been left to gather dust. Marvel’s Blade is one fine example, with the popular comic book hero’s own game staying radio silent for two years, but we’ve had a promising update from Bethesda director Todd Howard.
Marvel’s Blade has taken a massive backseat to Wolverine, with the PlayStation-exclusive title rightly earning the attention and hype ahead of its 2026 launch. At least it has a launch date, trailers, and gameplay, and pretty much everything. Whereas Blade fans have been left to prowl the streets in search of any strands of info.
Arkane Studios Doing ‘Great Job’ With Blade Game
We wondered where Arkane would go after the disastrous Redfall, and it was nice to see the studio’s name pop up in 2023 alongside the new Blade game.
The first trailer was fun, but it was a cinematic teaser with no substance.

An update in 2025 indicated that Marvel’s Blade devs were ‘Super Proud’ of the ‘Special Game.’ Again, it didn’t offer much, but now, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Todd Howard has given everyone a new update:
“I’m not at liberty to say when [we’ll see more], but I saw some stuff just yesterday, and the folks at Arkane [Studios, the developers] are doing a really, really great job.”
The comment was actually given in May, but published recently, which means the game will be even further along than it already is, and it sounds like it’s progressing nicely!
Let’s hope we don’t have to wait much longer for a new update, and a second trailer wouldn’t be too much to ask, right?
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Blade was announced. You would be forgiven if you’ve forgotten what it actually looked like! Here’s the reveal trailer.

Probably cancelled, Arkane closure soon, also where is EA’s Iron Man that was announced first? Fire Ed Boon, where is Injustice 3 a reveal should have happened now not TGA now! 1 year promotion not half a year. JB Perrette also lying WB has no games for 2027 and only 2 studios I see no fruits of their labor.
Well they can’t decide what the movie should be which is probably preventing them from getting anything approved for the “adaptation” game. Can’t just make a movie, can’t just make a game – the out of touch, on mars, incompetent suits have to wring their wrists about “tone” for multiple years first.
Why did they say “Its niuce to see Arkane back with Blade after Red Fall” That wasn’t even the studio that is making Blade….The Blade studio just made DeathLoop… Arkane Lyon. The Red Fall studio bit the dusk shortly after.
We are going to see Blade at Gamescom..
I asked s(Someone who I can’t mention name) about Blade after it not being in the Xbox show, which I was surprised to not see. And he said “We can’t fit everything in one show now that we have so many projects… But just think about Blade being a game based in Europe… I think that game would fit better at Gamescom.”
The new Blade game is set in Paris as well as Arkane Lyon making it.
But… days later I heard the same rumors as everyone else that Xbox might be cutting the studio. So I truly hope that isn’t the case. I really want to see Blade from Arkane.

Yeah that has nothing to do with this game. This game is not going to be related to the MCU… I mean you could already tell this from just the minute long CGI trailer when the game was announced.
It is crazy that the Blade movie has had such trouble getting made, I heard the writing has been so shit that the Blade actor vetoed it three times.
The game also is sticking with the very comic book like art style… to me, that is another sign that they are not trying to directly relate the game to the movie that is possibly still in production.
