The Blade game from Arkane Lyon is still deep in the shadows. Studio director Dinga Bakaba recently told an eager fan on social media that they have absolutely nothing to show right now. This third-person action adventure, set in a vampiric version of Paris, entered its main production phase only around late 2024. That means the team has been actively building the game for roughly one year total following its initial reveal at the 2023 Game Awards.
Bakaba emphasized the team is working hard and aims for a high-quality experience, asking players for patience. Given the current timeline, another teaser before 2027 seems optimistic. A standard modern development cycle for a big-budget title often stretches five or six years. If that pattern holds true for Marvel's Blade, a final release likely will not happen until 2028 at the earliest. The studio previously clarified that an old rumor about Ubisoft handling the project was false, confirming Arkane Lyon as the developer.
