Updated: The Ubisoft front has issued an official statement on social media following these developments. “We’re sorry to cut the rumors, but we’re not making a Blade game. However, we are eagerly awaiting the films of our friends at Marvel Studios that will be released next year.” with the announcement, the rumors of the Blade game have been shelved as a beautiful dream at least for now after surviving for a very short time.
Marvel, which dominated the big screen with its cinematic universe and the streaming services today, started to focus on games again , albeit a little late. The success of Marvel;s Spider-Man (which we now enjoy playing on the computer) has inspired many studios. Although we experienced a disappointment like the Avengers game in between, the Guardians of the Galaxy game that came immediately after it managed to make faces smile in every sense. As such, the giants of the sector also engaged in a sweet competition for gaming rights.
Previously, there were reports about Black Panther and Iron Man games from the EA front. The fact that the names of both games came up was enough to excite the fans. The latest news is from the Ubisoft front. Blade, the best quality vampire hunter of the Marvel Universe, can be seen as popular again with the new film. Ubisoft, which wants to take advantage of this opportunity, is working on a Blade game if we look at the latest developments.
The clearest source on the subject came through social media. Alex Martin and E Gaffney’s Instagram posts indicate that the two actors are doing motion detection work in front of the green screen. If we look at the tags in Gaffney’s posts , #ubisoft and #ubisoftgames stand out. The detail about Blade is that Gaffney has ” MARVEL” written on the slate in his hand. In addition, Bassam Tariq is written as the production director on this board, who is also the director of the film Blade on the horizon.
The fact that B. Tariq is also involved may mean that the potential Blade game will be a movie game. Or this time, Marvel can expand a story that started with the film in terms of the cinematic universe with games. Because the MCU has recently become more obsessed with multiverses. There is already a game universe in the comics that starts with Marvel;s Spider-Man. Considering that Wolverine will be included in this universe in a few years thanks to PlayStation 5, the MCU can manage to enchant us all as MGU in an instant. The Blade game has not yet been confirmed from the Marvel or Ubiosft front.
