First details of Bethesda and Arkane's new game revealed. Blade release date not set

Blade is a new project from Arkane Lyon, the creators of Deathloop and the Dishonored series. It is a third-person single-player game. The developers plan to craft an original story with a rich narrative and engaging gameplay.

Bill Rosemann, Vice President and Creative Director of Marvel Games:

“To celebrate Blade’s 50th anniversary, we found the perfect partner in Arkane Lyon, a studio of uncompromising artists who continually push the boundaries of game design and innovation. Beyond their award-winning talent, it is their personal passion and bold vision for our half-human, half-vampire iconoclast that makes this collaboration a perfect match.” 

Marvel's Blade takes players to a quarantined section of Paris—a city terrorized by vampires who force residents to hide at nightfall and anxiously await sunrise. The vampire hunter has a challenging road ahead.

Sebastien Mitton, Co-Founder and Art Director of Arkane Lyon:

“From his trench coat to his iconic sunglasses, Blade is a sleek, stylish, and determined character. This project is a wonderful opportunity to take Arkane’s art style into an even more modern and bold territory. The essence of our work lies in combining impactful ideas with innovative know-how.”

There are no specifics yet regarding the release date and platforms (PC and Xbox exclusivity?) where Blade should be expected. However, the mention of “starting work on the game” indicates that the release is still a long way off.
