The highly-anticipated Blade game, revealed during The Game Awards, has been under development since early 2022 by Arkane Lyon—the studio behind Deathloop.

The narrative is set in a quarantined Paris overrun by vampires, promising a third-person action experience, with the titular character Blade safeguarding the city's inhabitants. While there's no release date or confirmed platforms, it's likely that the game will be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, considering Arkane Lyon's inclusion in the Microsoft family. However, the possibility of the game releasing on other platforms hasn't been dismissed due to the nature of licensed games.

When is the Blade game by Arkane Lyon expected to be released?

The release date for the Blade game by Arkane Lyon hasn't been announced yet. Stay tuned for future updates for more information regarding the release timeline and platform availability.

Arkane Lyon's got a rep for delivering slick action and compelling narratives, so their Blade game shaping up in the City of Light with a vampiric twist sounds like a recipe for nocturnal thrills. With their history of polished titles and Microsoft's backing, I'm betting this will be a high-stakes adventure we won't want to miss—even if details like release date are still lurking in the shadows.
