Though the less said about the thirdmovie, the better. There is however anewBlademovieon the way starring the brilliant Mahershala Ali and it will be part of theMCU.
Marvel’s Bladeis from the same studio that brought us both Dishonored games as well asDeathloop. This is great news, as long as we forget that its other vampiric game ever existed,Redfall. Where’s Agent J when we need him?Marvel’s Bladewill be a mature, third-person single-player game based on the comics and not the movies.
Despite not seeing any gameplay forMarvel’s Blade, excitement for the title is understandably high. Unfortunately, with this being a Bethesda-published title, not everyone will be as excited. Now that Microsoft owns Bethesda, this means thatMarvel’s Bladewill not be coming to PlayStation 5. However, if you’re an Xbox gamer this will come as great news, because not only willMarvel’s Bladebe the first exclusive Marvel game on the Xbox ecosystem, but it will also launch day one on Xbox Game Pass.
Marvel’s Bladedoesn’t have a release date at the time of writing, but we do know that it will be released for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
