Marvel Games has recently announced that they are teaming up with Motive Studio for an all-new single-player third-person action-adventure Iron Man game. The game will feature an original story that taps into the rich history of Marvel’s famous superhero, channeling the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark, and enabling players to feel what it’s like to truly play Iron Man.
EA confirmed that this upcoming Iron Man game will be the first of several new games being developed around Marvel’s many superhero characters. This potentially confirms the rumors about an open-world Black Panther game, and additionally, a tease of what might come in the future. The team developing the game is being led by Olivier Proulx who was also involved in a previous superhero game, “Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy” game. He’ll be joined by industry veterans Ian Frazier, Maëlenn Lumineau, and JF Poirier.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with the talented team at Motive Studio to bring their original vision of one of Marvel’s most important, powerful, and beloved characters. Their experience delivering both established entertainment worlds and thrilling gameplay—combined with their authentic passion for the armored icon—will fuel our quest to deliver a love letter to a legendary hero in the form of the ultimate Iron Man video game.” – Bill Rosemann, Vice President and Creative Director at Marvel Games
“It’s an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to make a video game based on one of the most iconic Super Heroes in entertainment today. We have a great opportunity to create a new and unique story that we can call our own. Marvel is encouraging us to create something fresh. We have a lot of freedom, which is so engaging for the team. – Olivier Proulx, Executive Producer
Marvel’s new Iron Man game is currently in the pre-production phase. More updates will follow as the game gets further in development. This new project marks a new collaboration between Marvel and Electronic Arts with more games to come in the future with a promise to deliver a game that fans will truly appreciate.
