It seems that there is always a Marvel game in development, or at least it is rumored that there is. Insomniac is working on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine, Skydance is working on a new ensemble game MarvelEA is rumored to be working on a Black Panther game, Firaxis is working on Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and there are a ton of games out there.
This makes the recent rumor that Ubisoft I was working on a game Blade easy to digest, but it sounds like it might not be true. However, the rumor did not come from just any netizen.
Actors E Gaffney and Alex Martin recently shared on Instagram images of a Ubisoft motion capture session, which is obviously about the company due to the logo on the suits, and then another image with a clapperboard featuring Marvel. like production.
Although this would indicate that Ubisoft I was working on a game Marvelthe theory that it is a new game of Blade it is because said clapperboard mentions “B. Tariq” as director. As many fans will know, Tariq is working on the MCU’s new Blade movie, which is set for a November 2023 release.
Although this rumor is exciting and seems to come from a reliable source, the rumors about the game of Blade of Ubisoft have been officially denied by the company.
The company specifically said that it was “sorry to kill the rumours”, but that it was not making a Blade game. The company also expressed interest in the upcoming movie, but if there’s nothing else, this tweet makes the whole situation more surprising.
Notably, Ubisoft doesn’t deny that they’re making a Marvel game, just that it’s Blade-related. There’s not much else that can explain Ubisoft’s recent mocap images other than it’s working on a Marvel game, but then the B. Tariq teaser becomes even more questionable.
