Following reports of a potential adaptation, Ubisoft has denied that its working on a new Blade video game.
If you were hoping those recent rumors about an Ubisoft-developed Blade game to be true, we’ve got bad news.
Supposedly tying in with the upcoming Blade film next year for Marvel Phase 5, the rumours originated with actor Edwin Gaffney. After posting two photos on Instagram in a motion capture suit with hashtag #ubisoftgames, the second photo shows a clapperboard stating « Marvel. »
While these were posted three weeks ago, this only gained attention after being spotted by YouTuber JorRaptor. However, while we’re usually used to seeing publishers simply state « no comment » when it comes to rumors, Ubisoft outright denied it instead. Releasing a short statement on Twitter (opens in new tab), it confirmed:
« Sorry to slice up the rumors, we’re not making a Blade game but we can’t wait to see what our friends at @MarvelStudios are cooking up for next year’s movie! »
It’s worth noting that this doesn’t mean that Ubisoft isn’t working on any Marvel games whatsoever.
