Arkane is making a Blade game

An insider has claimed that Arkane Lyon's Blade game is currently aiming to release at some point in 2027, while also suggesting that it could be a cross-gen title.

Arkane Lyon's upcoming Marvel's Blade game is said to be using the same game engine as Deathloop and Dishonored 2.

As Masahiro Sakurai recently noted in one of his videos, there are video game projects that get canceled all the time. You often don’t hear about it due to how things are in the gaming industry or because they’re canceled so early into production that it “doesn’t matter” to many that they were canceled in the first place. In the case of The Last Of Us Online, however, it’s a different story. Naughty Dog wasn’t just working on the game, it’s been in the works for years! It started out as an expansion of sorts for their second game but soon became its own property that would stand on its own.

I really should know better than to lose my gourd over a game before it even has a gameplay trailer, but the first peeks we've gotten of Arkane's Blade adaptation already have me excited. In addition to the brief teaser at The Game Awards, Arkane Lyon art director Sebastien Mitton recently shared three pieces of concept art for the upcoming action game.

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.

Arkane Lyon creative director Sébastien Mitton just shared concept art for the studio's upcoming Blade game, which was recently announced at The Game Awards with a brief CGI trailer.

The Game Awards is meant to be an event that can herald in the next wave of big titles across all platforms, and each year is often a mixed bag of whether they do that or not. But this year, one title did get everyone excited. Rumors had spread that a partnership between Marvel Games and one of Bethesda’s studios was going to work on a title together, and that came true when Arkane Lyon took the stage and announced that Marvel’s Blade was in the works by them. A stylish trailer showcased the “Daywalker” getting ready to slay some vampires, and gamers couldn’t wait to do it.

A fascinating yet disappointing Starfieldbug has been discovered, which causes playthroughs to become more unstable the longer they go on.

One of the major surprises at The Game Awards recently was Arkane Lyon’s next big title. While many of us expected Dishonored 3 or Deathloop 2, it revealed Marvel’s Blade. The single-player action-adventure title is set in Paris and will be in third-person, a major shift for the studio.

The most recent patch for adds two new gameplay settings, one of which is the ultra-difficult Honour Mode. It's one of two new modes added in Patch 5 of , in addition to the highly flexible Custom Mode. In many ways, it's similar to the hardest default difficulty setting in , Tactician Mode, but is far from a simple expansion thereof. In fact, it's so much harder, it includes a lengthy pop-up window warning about all the ways it can screw players over. It's less than ideal for a first playthrough, but could be interesting for a repeat or challenge run.
