Marvel’s Blade announcement trailer is now featured on the Xbox channel and, intriguingly enough, concludes with an Xbox splash screen. This subtle yet significant detail has sparked speculation about the possibility of the game being an Xbox exclusive.
Until now, there has been a noticeable silence regarding the exclusivity of Marvel’s Blade. The initial reveal at The Game Awards, led by Arkane Lyon under the Microsoft-owned Zenimax, was high on action and intrigue but low on platform-specific details. This absence of clarity around exclusivity was a departure from the usual practice for big titles under the Microsoft banner.
The recent trailer upload with the Xbox splash screen is like finding a hidden clue in a mystery game. It’s a potential game-changer, suggesting that Marvel’s Blade might be joining the ranks of Xbox-exclusive titles. This move could indicate a strategic shift by Xbox, perhaps signaling a more exclusive direction for future releases from their studios.

Arkane Lyon, known for their masterful storytelling and gameplay in titles like Deathloop and Dishonored, is at the forefront of Blade’s development. Their track record of crafting engaging, player-centric experiences has heightened the anticipation for this venture into the Marvel universe. Blade is expected to be a standout title with the studio’s involvement, now possibly bearing the exclusive Xbox banner.
