is Arkane Lyon's upcoming title focusing on Marvel's famous vampire hunter. Although the game's story seems to be a new one for the character, the studio may still incorporate some of the Daywalker's major adversaries from the comics throughout the main campaign.
The trailer forwas revealed at The Game Awards 2023 but reveal much about the game's story other than its location and the first glimpse at its protagonist, showing the Daywalker at a barber shop before being called into action and preparing for battle. However, a following interview with Arkane Lyon's co-creative director Dinga Bakaba and Marvel Games' vice president and creative director Bill Rosemann confirmed that the M-rated, third-person action-adventure title will take place during what appears to be a vampire apocalypse in France.
Despite not taking place in a church or cathedral, religious iconography such as crosses was shown frequently in the background of 's reveal trailer, with the barbershop's window creating one that sprawls across the floor with its light, and the barber himself was wearing a priest's attire. While this may have just been protective measures against vampires built upon stereotypes — Blade has stated that these don't work in some media — it could also be alluding to the arrival of Draconis in Arkane Lyon's game.

Over time, Draconis developed an immunity to most weapons used to eradicate vampires, making him a worthy threat.
Draconis managed to successfully stake the Daywalker at one point, but this «death» didn't last long due to a mystical amulet Blade was wearing at the time.

However, much of the character's backstory before mirrors Stoker's novel, with the vampire's Transylvanian origins and his defeat at the hands of Abraham Van Helsing and Jonathan Harker in 1897, which was ultimately short-lived in the Marvel Universe.
Since his return in the latter half of the 20th Century, Dracula has often come to blows with Blade in the comics, with the vampire hunter first appearing as a supporting character in in 1973 before going on to helm his own stories. Considering Dracula commands the largest legion of the undead, it would make sense for him to play some part in 's vampire apocalypse.
If Dracula were to appear in, there is a strong likelihood that his children
