Marvel’s Blade is still in development and will cost more than 94 million euros ($101 million), according to an official report from the French government
In that environment, many feared that Marvel's Blade would also be paused or scrapped.
The studio confirmed that development is ongoing and that production began at the end of 2023, after successfully validating the initial prototype.
Marvel's Blade, the highly anticipated game from Arkane Lyon, is still in development despite layoffs at Xbox.
An official document revealed that its budget exceeds 94 million euros, positioning it as a true blockbuster.
The information comes from a financial report from the French government, related to tax incentives for video game studios.
It was shared by user Timur222 on X, where the benefits obtained by companies such as Arkane Studios, Ubisoft, and Quantic Dream are detailed.
The leak gains traction after the recent mass layoffs at Microsoft and the cancellation of projects such as Perfect Dark and Everwild.
This official support reassured those who see this game as a strong bet within the Marvel universe.
It will be a third-person action adventure, focused on single-player and set in a quarantined Paris under a supernatural threat.
The player will embody the iconic vampire hunter in a completely original story.
No specific consoles have been announced yet. The title was revealed before Xbox's shift to multiplatform, so its release is not confirmed.
