During the last The Game Awards ceremony, Arcane Lyon surprised us with a reveal Marvel’s Blade, a new game starring the famous vampire hunter. While many were excited by the announcement, others wanted to know more about the project, including its release date. Well, it seems we already have this information, and We have to wait a long time before enjoying this title.
According to renowned industry insider Jeff Grubb, Marvel’s Blade It’s far from reaching our hands, as the title will be available on Xbox consoles and PC sometime in 2027.. That’s right, we’ll have to wait almost four years to start hunting vampires on the streets of Paris. Grubb commented on this:
“Arcane Blade. If you want to know when I can play it, but internally right now, they expect it to hit store shelves and digitally in 2027. At least for this game they are aiming for dWhere I know what Marvel is marking on their calendar… that means 2027 at the earliest; Don’t expect it before then.”
Although Grubb mentioned that it will arrive in 2027 Marvel’s Blade, The possibility of this title suffering from some sort of delay has not been ruled out., and arrive after 2027 For their part, Arcane Lyon, Marvel or Xbox are silent After its release in early December, we don’t have any other information about the project, especially the possible exclusivity on Microsoft consoles.
Let us remember that Arkane Lyon is part of ZeniMax Media, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2020. Although some titles, e.g Deathloop y Ghostware: Tokyo After this purchase was announced they arrived as a temporary exclusive on the PlayStation 5, as did the title Redfall, Hi-Fi Rush y Starfield Yes, they were exclusive to Xbox on the console. Thus, There is no reason to doubt its exclusivity Marvel’s Blade on this platform.
Likewise, this wouldn’t be anything new for Marvel. Let’s keep in mind that Sony owns the license to Spider-Man, so the work Insomniac Games has done with the property will only be available on PlayStation consoles. So this will most likely happen with Marvel’s Blade and Xbox as well.
About its developer, Arkane Lyon is a studio from France that has won the hearts of gamers for the title dishonorable y Deathloop. For its part, the US-based division was responsible for Arcane Austin Redfall, a title that disappointed many this year. It is important to make this distinction to avoid confusion. The team working on Marvel’s Blade isn’t the same one that gave us Redfall, even though they’re part of the same family of studios.
We can only wait and see what happens Marvel’s Blade in the future. On a related note, you can learn more about this title’s potential exclusivity on Xbox here Likewise, it’s a fresh look at Arcane Leone’s work in conceptual art form.
Editor’s note:
2027 is still far away. While I understand all those who are angry and frustrated at the idea of ​​waiting, it’s important to point out that these types of announcements are made not only to make the public aware of a game, but also to offer something to publishers. And stay in the studio while talking about income, investments and details that go beyond the general public.
