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.

Redfall is an upcoming cooperative FPS that will have you and up to three additional friends roaming the town of Redfall slaying vampires.
