As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless video game franchises, I can confidently say that the anticipation for the upcoming Blade game by Arkane Studios is reaching an all-time high. Having grown up with the original Blade movies, I’ve always been fascinated by the character and his unique blend of vampire hunter and superhero.
2023 marked the time when Bethesda unveiled their forthcoming Blade game to the public, yet as we stand in late 2024, a significant update remains absent.
Due to some concept artwork from Arkane Studios, we now have a fresh glimpse into the video game Blade, potentially showcasing his primary design.

Arkane Studios has just marked its 25-year milestone, and as part of the celebration, they’ve unveiled some fascinating concept art depicting various Arkane characters with the ominous figure of Blade lurking behind them. Here’s a peek:
Regarding the ongoing work on Blade, there hasn’t been any significant new announcement as of yet. However, co-creative director Sebastien Mitton has shared some insights about the game and their commitment to ‘Arkanites’. In his own words:
Now, moving forward with Marvel’s Blade, I am genuinely thrilled and eager to delve into unexplored realms of our creative journey.
Today, we’re not just marking our rich heritage, but also reaffirming our commitment to pioneering innovation and creativity for our players. A heartfelt thank you to every Arkanite, whether near or far, past or present, for your passion, devotion, and skill… With mutual trust between us in the studio, with our players and fans, we’ve created something extraordinary, and I know the most exciting journeys lie ahead. Let’s continue to discover, innovate, and inspire!
Despite no official word yet about when we might see a gameplay demonstration, this latest announcement has sparked optimism among fans that Arkane may unveil the much-anticipated title, Blade, in the near future.
What are the odds it’s going to be during the upcoming Game Awards again?
The First Blade Reveal
10 months ago, fans got their initial sneak peek of the Blade game during The Game Awards. While no actual gameplay was shown, the presentation offered fans a glimpse of the unique, stylistic direction the game aims to achieve. Fans were given an early look at the Blade game 10 months ago during The Game Awards. Although no gameplay was demonstrated, they were able to catch a glimpse of the distinctive style that the developers are aiming for with this title.
According to its official details, the game titled “Blade” will be situated in the core of Paris and is expected to be a single-player adventure with a third-person perspective. While specifics about gameplay are yet to be revealed, it’s probable that the game may incorporate features similar to those that distinguished “Dishonored” and “Deathloop“, particularly the diverse array of weapons that players can utilize.
Given Blade’s reputation for possessing Bond-like tools for battling vampires, it’s only fitting that the game allows players to use a variety of swords and throwable knives to eliminate these bloodsuckers.
Blade is Ready for a Mainstream Comeback
It’s true that the “Blade” series has struggled to regain momentum after taking a break. While these films were iconic during the early 2000s, it seems that the movie Marvel Studios announced in 2019 is facing obstacles, with numerous directors departing from the project.
As a hardcore gamer, it’s been exhilarating to see Blade making a comeback in modern games like Midnight Suns and Deadpool and Wolverine. It feels like the Daywalker might be ready for another shining moment. Here’s hoping that this new game release will encourage Marvel Studios to speed up their movie plans, so we can witness more of Blade’s epic adventures on the big screen!
It’s still undetermined when “Blade” will launch, but there’s speculation that it might be coming out towards the end of 2025.
