Marvel’s Blade is still thing, as we were happy to tell you about earlier this month. And it seems that the game’s shaping up quite well if a recent Entertainment Weekly interview with Todd Howard is any indication.
Aside from assuring that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still coming along, Bethesda’s director and executive producer had good things to say about the upcoming vampire-slaying adventure featuring the titular character from Marvel’s comics and films. However, he was pretty cagey about when we would get a look at the game, or a potential release window.
“I’m not at liberty to say when, but I saw some stuff just yesterday, and the folks at Arkane are doing a really, really great job.”
That definitely gives us reason to be optimistic about this one, despite the relative lack of new information from Arkane since its announcement in December 2023. However, it’s worth noting that Howard’s comments are from May and only recently published by Entertainment Weekly. Whether things have changed at Xbox since, especially with layoffs reportedly looming, remains to be seen. Lest we forget, the gaming division did announce Ninja Theory’s Senua one week before reports emerged of its imminent closure (though the decision had apparently been made prior).
For now, we’re going to consider Howard’s words as a sign that things are going well, and that a little bit of patience is a small price to pay for a title that could potentially complement Rebel Wolves’ The Blood of Dawnwalker, which launches in September.
