After the disastrous launch of Redfall, you’d have thought that immersive sim specialists Arkane would have needed to bust open the curtains and keep as far-off from vampire video games as bodily potential. And but right here we’re, with tonight’s Sport Awards reveal that they are making a Marvel Blade sport. What are the probabilities? Will this second chew at making a (hopefully good this time) vampire sport be the one? It is nonetheless early on in growth, from the sounds of issues, however here is the reveal trailer.
There’s actually not an enormous quantity to say about what Blade will look or play like but, because the teaser trailer is, unsurprisingly, fairly mild on particulars. It is being made by Arkane’s Deathloop staff, although, and studio director Dinga Bakaba stated in a post-reveal stage chat that it could be “an immersive third-person motion journey set in Paris”. Here is hoping it is extra like Deathloop than Redfall, then? We will solely hope.
There have been some unusual rumours surrounding Marvel’s Blade sport. Final 12 months, it was rumoured that Ubisoft of all folks could be making it after some Instagram shenanigans with a movement seize artist appeared to counsel a hyperlink between the writer and the challenge. That hearsay was shortly quashed inside 24 hours, although, and since then we have heard neither cover nor hair of it. Till now, that’s.
““As a child of blended origins, I felt a particular connection to Blade – a hero with a twin heritage himself,” stated Bakaba in a separate assertion on Arkane’s web site. “The chance to place our spin on this character is a dream of mine and a problem that our staff embraces with a ardour. We couldn’t be happier to place gamers in Blade’s boots, as he turns into the champion of my hometown of Paris, one stake at a time.”
Personally, if Arkane’s Blade captures even a tenth of what made Deathloop so gosh-darn enjoyable (he higher have a fantastic hoof kick in addition to a superb sword arm, I am telling you now), then this may very well be a fairly all proper Marvel sport. When will we hear extra? Goodness is aware of. However hey, at the least Arkane are nonetheless in enterprise. Here is hoping Blade is not the sport to make them chew the mud (sorry).
