Release date speculation
It will likely be a while beforeBladesees the light of day . Not only was there no date or even windowpane given , but Studiodirector Dinga Bakaba posted the following on X ( formerly Twitter):“We’re going to stay dumb for a while … ” require to wait until at least 2025 for this one , if not long .
Platforms
Despite no platforms being confirmed in any marketing cloth thus far , we recognise that developer Arkane Lyon is under Bethesda , and thus Xbox Games Studios , which at least intemperately implies that it will be an Xbox console exclusive . A PC version is almost certain as well , but PlayStation players are more than likely going to be left out of the vampire - kill fun .

The reveal was strictly cinematic , but once again , Bakaba shared some more info on the development ofBlade . harmonize to him , Bladewill be a “ single - player immersive sim hybrid with all the prick we love ! ” The prevue show it will take place in Paris , but we also do it it will be a third - soul game , which will be a first for the studio . The immersive sim component suggest an open world , or at least a big hub universe , which we will be able to explore however we choose . We can jolly foreshadow to habituate Blade ’s iconic sword , plus various firearms and other vampire - slaying tools , but until gameplay is formally shown , it is pure speculation .
Pre-order
Bladehas no release day of the month , so we will need to wait before we can pass our teeth into any pre - order contingent .
