Blade, a necessary announcement – Xbox Space

One of the big surprises of the gala was undoubtedly, Blade. The new of Arkane Lyon arrived on our screens with force thanks to a trailer and some statements that make us think that we are facing a very ambitious project. Proof of this is that the Marvel logo is once again floating on the Xbox horizon. A logo that many players have missed for years. It is for this reason that I consider that the announcement of Blade It is one of the largest in the company’s recent history.

Having a character championed by Marvel is a very important statement that Xbox lacked. Be honest, Blade

He is a very popular character, although less recognized than others like Spider Man. However, This represents a big qualitative leap for those in Redmond to begin to have brands and characters recognized by the general public.. Additionally, I think Arkane is the perfect company to develop a title about the powerful vampire slayer. The studio does not hide when it comes to showing violent scenes, in addition to having masterful staging in all its works. The teaser seen during the Game Awards gala could be the perfect prelude to an almost poetic redemption for the character and the company.

Let’s cook

Arkane knows he has the perfect opportunity to redeem himself after Red fall. Curiously, vampires and hunters meet again in a title that should be a hit on the table. This is why the studio took advantage of the moment of the presentation of this new title to simply say: Let’s cook

. Arkane has always been a guarantee of quality within the video game industry. Something that can be verified simply by looking at the CV that attests to them; Dishonored, Death loop, Prey. All titles of superb quality.

That being said, what do we know about Blade? The reality is that yesterday we were able to know some slight indications of what is going to happen. First of all, the company’s signature artistic style is still present. This comic mix, with cartoon-type characters, will continue to be present in this new adventure. The next thing is we are faced with a third-person action title that will have an immersive world

. It is striking that the studio is focusing on the third person knowing that its major titles have always opted for a first person perspective. However, we cannot ignore that for the general public the claim to this title is the figure of Bladetherefore, it must be visible.

Another detail that we could observe in the trailer is that it will take place in Paris. You can watch the news on television with an Eiffel Tower surrounded by flames, as well as see signs in French. It therefore seems that Arkane brings the famous vampire hunter to his homeland in an effort to remind the world of his good work in the industry.
