Good for them for uploading it. Now the masses can move on and forget about it like everything else on Xbox.

Enjoy your 2027 flop fatburger 🙅‍♂️🙅🙅‍♀️

that doesn't mean anything, they put the Xbox logo on every video on that channel, even Fortnite.

I still dont think its exclusive, Xbox wont exist in 2027 when this game comes out.
its exclusive until proven otherwise. Elder Scrolls 6 was confirmed a exclusive and thats like 5-6 years out.

You cannot ask prove when non of owners aknowlegde its existent. So, no, it is not exclusive, it is multiplat until it is clarified.

Why are we so keen on it being Multiplatform?

The day Blade goes Multiplatform will be the day Spiderman and Wolverine go Multiplatform too.

A domino effect.

Let them have Blade and more Vampire killing.

Sony have Spiderman and Wolverine. The cream of Marvel.

Blade is an irrelevant character?? Or you just saying that because it's now a possible Xbox exclusive? Lol
Of course he is irrelevant now. Until proven otherwise. Films had its own share of relevancy but it's all gone.

It is multiplat for now.

Not sure, why people are hyping it? Calling biggest announcement of TGA? WTF?

Biggest announcement was God of War, from public reception on set, till internet engagement till glowing reviews.

Disney has nothing to gain from making SM or Wolverine multiplatform. Xbox owners will not buy them since they have been pavloved into having everything on gamepass. Nintendo is probably outside of the existing platform portfolio, so that doesn't matter. PC already has Spider-Man.

All 3 Blade movies made just over $400M at the box office. Spider-man, the first with Tobey Maguire, made $825M, and it came out around the same time as the Blade trilogy. Blade is irrelevant now and has never really been relevant. The highest-grossing Blade movie made $155M. For comparison, Ghost Rider (2007) made $228M.

Neither did MLB.

Microsoft can always offer a sum of money to Marvel to get them on Gamepass.

Sure. Contrary to MLB which nobody gives a fuck about except people in 1 country, and most don't even know is a PS Studios game, Sony can come back and say "we'll stop developing Spider-Man, say goodbye to 30M sales per game, good luck with Microsoft".

Would Sony do that?

They didn’t with MLB.

I just hope Blade is exclusive which ensures SM and Wolverine remain exclusive.

Maybe Sony can get more Marvel characters in the future.

MLB sells what, 2M copies per year? We can't compare a franchise that would sell 20M copies every 10 years VS a franchise that has sold over 40M copies in 5 years.

They uploaded the trailer to Xbox channel and put the Xbox logo on it.
Stupid marketing team, no wonder Xbox is failing. They managed to screw up their biggest announcement on the TGA.
Amateurs.

The fact that they waited this long probably goes with the assumption that they wanted the attention of everybody, basically PlayStation owners, since the Xbox brand is so unpopular they wouldn’t get any kind of viewership if it was announced at exclusive. See Starfield videos where that game did not get the numbers previous Bethesda games got when they were on PlayStation.

But also……

that doesn't mean anything, they put the Xbox logo on every video on that channel, even Fortnite.

I still dont think its exclusive, Xbox wont exist in 2027 when this game comes out.

Yeah the trailer still doesn’t list Xbox or PC or gamepass.

There’s really only 2 reasons

1 The deal for exclusivity is still being worked on

2 It’s not exclusive and they want to hide that fact as much as possible until the games comes out. Which is years away anyway.

Maybe David Jaffe does know something.

Elder scrolls 6 is exclusive. That's 5 or 6 years away. Phil Spencer said so. Naturally Blade is exclusive because it's arkane and arkane is owned by Xbox. It's exclusive until their is direct evidence it's not.

That's because Blade is a lesser know marvel character to boot and is not a family friendly character. Despite that, the Blade movies were all commercially succesfull and gained a cult like following. People were excited for the Blade movie reboot for a reason. Blade is certainly not irrelevant. Just not a household name.

Neither are exclusive, Xbox as a console is dead and won’t exist by the time those games release. It will be on PS5, PS6, Switch 2, and PC

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Your logic in bullet points:
  • Elder Scrolls 6 is an exclusive
  • Arkane is owned by Xbox
  • Therefore blade is an exclusive
The problem with this (flawed) logic is that it can be easily refuted:
  • The Last of Us is an exclusive
  • San Diego Studio is owned by Sony
  • Therefore MLB is an exclusive
That's because Blade is a lesser know marvel character to boot and is not a family friendly character.

None of what you said refutes what I said. In the grand scheme of things, Blade is irrelevant, and being tied to a dying brand like Xbox will only make it more irrelevant. Additionally, being commercially successful means fuck all: There are plenty of movies with tiny budgets that were commercially successful but made very little cash.
