"There’s other beats coming up in the year": Xbox games chief hints Marvel's Blade could be shown later in 2026 after missing the Xbox Games Showcase

A closeup screenshot from Xbox's reveal trailer for Marvel's Blade that was shown in 2023.

Last weekend's Xbox Games Showcase was Microsoft's latest big gaming presentation, and featured trailers, deep looks, and more at everything from action-packed shooters like Halo: Campaign Evolved and Gears of War: E-Day to upcoming RPGs such as Fable and Clockwork Revolution.

Notably, however, one game that was absent from the show was Marvel's Blade, the new single player third-person action-adventure title from Bethesda and Arkane Lyon (Dishonored, Deathloop) that sees you play as the legendary vampire hunter anti-hero of comic book fame. First announced in 2023 during The Game Awards, we've barely heard or seen anything about it since.
