EA’s Iron Man game will reportedly be developed by Dead Space creator Motive Studio. Previous reports suggested that EA is working on a Black Panther title and an Iron Man title as well. We were hoping to see either of these projects at yesterday’s Disney and Marvel Games Showcase, but we got something else entirely. Now, industry insider Jeff Grubb has come forward and shared more information about these projects.
Since the game wasn’t showcased at the D23 expo, Grubb took to Twitter and said, “You shouldn't have to wait much longer to hear about it, but you will have to wait to play it. Although it's coming before Black Panther”. He also responded to a fan in the same thread by saying, “Motive is doing iron man after dead space. A team of former Shadow of Mordor devs will make Black Panther”. Motive Studio is already working on the Dead Space Remake scheduled to launch on January 27, 2023. Since the Iron Man game will only begin development after that, Grubb mentioned that we will have to wait for a minimum of three years for it.
Over the years, we have seen multiple attempts at making an Iron Man game, but they have failed to make an impact. We also recently found out about a canceled Iron Man game that was being developed by Just Cause's Avalanche Studios. Even Sony's Iron Man VR was a great attempt, but failed to make a name for itself. EA will have to ensure that it avoids repeating their mistakes in its own game.
Marvel seems keen on handing out licenses to anyone who wants to make a game on one of its IPs. Over the last two years, we have seen three big Triple-A Marvel games in the form of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel's Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
PlayStation has also announced Spider-Man 2 and a new Wolverine game as well. Besides these, a new batch of Marvel games was revealed at yesterday’s Disney and Marvel Games showcase. We got a first look at Amy Henning’s project – a Captain America and Black Panther game set in WW2. Additionally, Pokemon-Go developer, Niantic, also announced a brand-new Marvel game titled ‘World of Heroes’.
