As someone who finished unlocking all the trophies in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, I love seeing superheroes getting their own video games. While Marvel’s Spider-Man has been my primary focus, I remember the joy I felt playing through Rocksteady’s Batman games. When I saw Bethesda’s announcement about the new Blade game, I didn’t need to hear anything else. I could see myself pre-ordering Marvel’s Blade when a release date is announced. It’s about time that Microsoft hopped on the superhero bandwagon.

There isn’t much to be gathered from the announcement trailer. It shows Blade in a barbershop as alarms ring out from the shop. Blade quickly puts his gear on and it zooms in on Blade’s back as he draws one of his blades from its holster. The official Bethesda article mentions how Marvel’s Blade will take place in Paris during a supernatural emergency. That sounds neat. Playing as Blade while he annihilates vampires and other supernatural creatures with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.

I think it’s about time that Microsoft dips into superheroes. For those who aren’t familiar, Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, therefore Marvel’s Blade will more than likely be an Xbox exclusive. Insomniac Games has a winning combination with their Spider-Man games and the upcoming Wolverine game. As long as Marvel’s Blade is a well-made game, I don’t see a reason why Microsoft shouldn’t have an exclusive for Xbox. It’s been fun to see two of my favorite hobbies; comics and video games, come together.

I am looking forward to hearing more about Marvel’s Blade. As mentioned, I definitely want to pre-order this as soon as more information is announced.
