The Game Awards 2023 brought a surprise for fans in the form of Marvel’s Blade. The video game was teased through a small cinematic teaser, showing Eric Brooks waiting for a barber to groom him inside a shop with its shutter down. Eric makes a fun jab at the barber who was afraid of him, saying he won’t bite him, which is ironic considering he is half vampire. The lights went out, and a red glow dominated the shop. Blade put his fangs on display and got ready to slay the vamps as always.
