Arkane Lyon is developing Blade, a game based on Marvel's anti-hero of the same name.
Marvel’s Dinga Bakaba and Bill Roseman unveiled the game during The Game Awards last night. The game will take place in a part of Paris that is under quarantine during a supernatural emergency. Vampires have appeared on the scene and it is up to Blade to keep the residents of Paris safe.
