Arkane moves from one vampire slaying game to another.

Arkane Lyon, alongside Marvel Games, announced that a new game based off of Blade is coming. Blade will be a third-person, single player title that is decidedly on the more mature side of the ratings scale.

While the reveal was made at The Game Awards, there isn't much to go on here. Arkane Lyon has just started development on the game, so it's going to be a long while before it's ready to have more shown off. We do know that this game will feature an original story "with the studio's signature immersive gameplay and world-class narrative."

Arkane Lyon is the Arkane studio location that is responsible for developing the Dishonored games and Deathloop.


Marvel’s Blade game will take players to a quarantined section of Paris in the middle of a supernatural emergency. Vampires have emerged, terrorizing the city of lights and forcing Parisians to shelter inside their homes at night to wait for sunrise. 

“From his trench coat to his iconic sunglasses, Blade is a slick, stylish, and driven character,” said Sebastien Mitton, Co-Creative and Art Director, Arkane Lyon. “This project is the perfect opportunity to push Arkane’s art style into an even more modern and bold territory. The essence of our work lives at the junction of impactful ideas and innovative know-how.”​
