During The Game Awards 2023, Bethesda Softworks and Marvel Games have revealed that Arkane Studios is developing Marvel's Blade. No consoles were announced for the game at this time.
Arkane Lyon, known for developing Deathloop and Dishonored, will be working on a new single-player game based on the comic book character Blade to commemorate the character's 50th anniversary. Marvel's Blade will be set in Paris, France, and will have an original story not based on any specific comic book run. In the game's story, players will be greeted with a supernatural emergency where Paris has been quarantined to protect them from vampires that are terrorizing the city in the night. Residents of Paris must survive until sunrise or risk being attacked by their vampire invaders.
Dinga Bakaba will serve as the game's director. Sebastien Mitton will be the art director and co-creative on the project.
