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.
However, Arkane Lyon falls under Bethesda Softworks, owned by Microsoft. The question then arises: Will it be exclusive to Xbox Series X/S? VG247 asked Bethesda to clarify (since the reveal trailer doesn’t list any platforms), but it refused to comment.
It’s not the first time an upcoming title from a Microsoft-owned studio had its exclusivity questioned. Obsidian Entertainment’sThe Outer Worlds 2 was announced for Xbox Series X/S and PC at E3 2021, but Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty said it’s still undecided during the recent case with the FTC. The main difference is that it’s a sequel to a multi-platform franchise, while Marvel’s Blade is a new IP.
As always, time will tell, so stay tuned. Regarding console exclusives, Microsoft has Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 launching in 2024 afterTowerborne andAra: History Untold. Check out its latest gameplay trailer.

Insomniac’s ransomware leak has revealed details on the developer’s roadmap for future releases extending to more than a decade more now, and alongside new Spider-Man games and a new Ratchet and Clank instalment, the leak has also revealed that the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine will act as the first game in a larger X-Men series.
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.
Marvel’s Blade was announced during The Game Awards earlier this week, a massive budget third-person action game set in a reimagined Paris. Development, however, is being handled by Microsoft studio Arkane Lyon – the team formerly behind titles like Dishonored and one-time PS5 console exclusive Deathloop.
Marvel's Blade was one of the most exciting reveals from the Game Awards. Not only is it the first proper video game adaptation of the beloved Marvel character, but it's being made by Arkane Lyon, developers of games like Deathloop and the Dishonored series. That said, the reveal trailer isn't that long, and fans are understandably hungry for more.
Arkane Lyon's studio director Sebastien Mitton has shared three concept artworks for the Deathloop developer's adaptation of Marvel's Blade, a third-person action adventure set in Paris, which was announced last week during the Keighleys. On the surface the artworks give away little, but thankfully, I am a Vampire of News, equipped with supernatural vision and insight. Why not come inside my den and let me regale you with some speculations? Don't worry about the red stains on the carpet, that's just, er, strawberry jam from all the doughnuts I've been eating recently. The red stains on the wall? Yeah, that's blood.
Arkane has released new concept art for Marvel's Blade, and it's only going to make the wait for the game harder.
Marvel’s Blade, the next project from Arkane Lyon, is likely going to be an Xbox-exclusive title, despite exclusivity not having been discussed during its reveal.
A new has been released, ringing in the holidays with a peek at some of the upcoming stories from across the MCU‘s multiverse. The series is set to debut on Disney+ on December 22 and, from then on, will premiere one new episode every day for nine days in a row.
Disney says it doesn't feel making the upcoming Indiana Jones game an Xbox exclusive is "over exclusionary" as it'll still reach a lot of players.
Marvel's Blade might have started development at the beginning of 2022.
Microsoft’s high-profile legal battle with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over the fate of its $69 billion buyout of Activision Blizzard unearthed a number of explosive revelations, among them the fact Microsoft renegotiated ZeniMax's deal with Disney to make Bethesda's upcoming Indiana Jones game exclusive to Xbox and PC, thus ditching the PlayStation 5 version.
