Where did this information come from?

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.

A complicated context for Xbox

The leak gains traction after the recent mass layoffs at Microsoft and the cancellation of projects such as Perfect Dark and Everwild.

In that environment, many feared that Marvel's Blade would also be paused or scrapped.

Arkane Lyon reassures fans

The studio confirmed that development is ongoing and that production began at the end of 2023, after successfully validating the initial prototype.

What is Marvel's Blade about?

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.
