6. Marvel's Blade

At this point, it's fair to say that a lot of MCU fans have given up the hope of watching a new Blade movie. The project was announced back in 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con, was in development hell for a few years, and now it has disappeared from the public eye altogether, leading many to believe it has been cancelled. But even if the vampire hunter doesn't steal the spotlight on the big screen, he's about to do it in the video game world.

Developed by Arkane Lyon, Marvel's Blade will take players on a single-player, third-person journey set in a vampire-infested Paris. The game was announced back in the Game Awards 2023, and shortly after, Bethesda released official concept art showcasing a glimpse of what's to come. While we've had no development updates since then, it's also been less than two years since its initial reveal. So, fingers crossed that 2026 will be the year when we'll get to learn (or even see) more about Marvel's Blade.

7. Marvel Cosmic Invasion

This one is a straight throwback to the Arcade era of video games. How could it not? It's enough to take a look at Marvel Cosmic Invasion's pixel art style and beat 'em up gameplay mechanics to know that a true classic is coming our way really soon. The game will feature 15 playable characters, including the likes of Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Storm, Nova, Venom, and the recently announced She-Hulk and Rocket Raccoon.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion will feature local and online multiplayer, along with no shortage of iconic Marvel locations such as the Negative Zone. Marvel heroes from every corner of the universe will come together to fight Annihilus and his forces across the galaxy. The best part is that we won't have to wait long until we finally get to play this game for ourselves, as Marvel Cosmic Invasion will be released in 2025 on all major consoles.
