The Game Awards took place this week and it gave gamers all over a glimpse at the future of the industry.
From Marvel fans, one surprise was the announcement by Bethesda Softworks and Arkane Lyon Studios, developer of the critically acclaimed DEATHLOOP and Dishonored series, of a brand new single-player game starring everyone’s favorite sunglass-wearing and leather jacket clad vampire hunter in time for his 50th anniversary!
“As a kid of mixed origins, I felt a special connection to Blade—a hero with a dual heritage himself,” said Dinga Bakaba, Game Director, Arkane Lyon. “The opportunity to put our spin on this character is a dream of mine and a challenge that our team embraces with a passion. We couldn’t be happier to put players in Blade’s boots, as he becomes the champion of my hometown of Paris, one stake at a time.”
Marvel’s Blade game will take players to a quarantined section of Paris in the middle of a supernatural emergency. Vampires have emerged, terrorizing the city of lights and forcing Parisians to shelter inside their homes at night to wait for sunrise.
