EA has officially struck a deal with Marvel for a trio of games based on Disney superheroes

It was announced on Monday that EA has made a deal with Disney to develop three games based on Marvel superhero characters. The first of these games will be based on Iron Man.

EA stated that Iron Man is still in a very early stage of production and that EA Motive’s goal is to create an authentic Marvel experience starring the armored Avenger. Playtesting for the game is apparently set to start this week as part of some preliminary fine-tuning.

Currently, there is some uncertainty surrounding the other two games. Nevertheless, EA did state that they would be in line with action-adventure games with unique plots and would be available for PC and consoles.

It was recently confirmed that EA Motive is developing the Iron Man game.

Executive Vice President Jay Ong of Marvel said:

“At Marvel, we strive to find best-in-class teams who can take our characters on heroic journeys in ways they haven’t before, and collaborating with Electronic Arts will help us achieve that.

We pride ourselves on being enthusiastic, creative collaborators with developers so they have the freedom to create something deeply unique and truly remarkable.

The team at Motive is getting started on that with their Iron Man video game and we can’t wait for players to learn more in the far future.”

By saying that they “can’t wait for players to learn more in the far future,” Ong further suggested that these games are still in the future.

EA

Marvel game developers aren’t limited to EA though. A Captain America and Black Panther game set in World War II is being developed by Skydance New Media, and Insomniac plans to release the follow-up to its 2018 Spider-Man game the following year.

Midnight Suns, a strategy game with Gothic Marvel influences, will debut on the 2nd of December.

You can be sure that we will be closely monitoring these upcoming games and updating our loyal readers as soon as fresh information becomes available.
