Marvel’s Blade Has Seemingly Been in the Works Since January 2022

Marvel’s Blade was among the best and biggest surprises at The Game Awards, but though there’s plenty of excitement surrounding the game, just how long is it going to be before we actually get to play it? Bethesda says it has “just begun development” at Dishonored and Deathloop studio Arkane Lyon, but it may actually have been in the works earlier than that.

That’s as per the LinkedIn profile of Dana Nightingale (via @IdleSloth84_ on Twitter), who is Marvel’s Blade’s campaign director. On her profile, she mentions that she’s the “director of the level design team and principle designer of the campaign on Marvel’s Blade“, and that she has been in that role for nearly two years, since January 2022.

Of course, there’s a good chance that that’s when the game entered pre-production – which is a stage of development that can last for quite a while, especially for new IP – and only just entered full production recently. Either way, it’s clearly going to be a while before the game releases.

Interestingly, there also isn’t clarity yet on the platforms Marvel’s Blade will release for. Read more on that through here.
