Bethesda's Todd Howard offers update on Marvel's Blade

Bethesda's Todd Howard says developer Arkane is 'doing a really, really great job' Arkane Lyon and Bethesda Softworks announced Marvel's Blade almost three years ago at the 2023 The Game Awards. Both companies have been largely quiet about it since, and some potential players wondered if the game was secretly canceled after it no-showed during the recent Xbox Games Showcase stream. Now, in a new interview, Bethesda Softworks head Todd Howard assuaged those fears and confirmed the game is still alive. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly as part of a larger story about the state of Xbox, Howard gave an update on Marvel's Blade. He said he's "not at liberty to say when [we'll see more]" of the game, but that he saw "some stuff" recently and "the folks at Arkane are doing a really, really great job." Howard's update isn't much, but, as far as reporting about Microsoft's studios and games goes this month, it's better than the alternative (or whatever the fate of Marvel Studios' long-in-development Blade movie is). As it's possible Arkane didn't even go into full production on Marvel's Blade until late 2024 (a year after its reveal), a sparse update at this point isn't terribly surprising
