The announcement of Marvel’s Blade at The Game Awards has been received with widespread excitement, not only because the property itself is such a beloved one, but also because the game is being developed by Arkane Lyon, the studio behind Dishonored 2 and Deathloop. And to add a little bit more spark to that aforementioned excitement, one of Marvel’s Blade’s developers has shared new concept art for the game.
Taking to Twitter, Sebastien Mitton – co-creative and art director at Arkane Lyon – shared three new pieces of concept art for Marvel’s Blade, showcasing the titular vampire-slash-vampire hunter in several locations all throughout Paris, which is where the game is set. One of the pieces shows him looking on at the city from the rooftop of a building, the other shows him hiding in the shadows in an alleyway, and the third shows vampires inside a Metro train, while Blade fights bats on the station outside. Check them out below.
There’s no word yet when Marvel’s Blade will launch. Bethesda has said the game “just entered development”, though it might have been in the works at least in some capacity since January 2022. Interestingly, Bethesda has, thus far, also declined to comment on whether it will be an Xbox console exclusive.
