So far, only one game has been made official: after the Dead Space remake, Motive will make an Iron Man game, but after that, Marvel (part of the Mouse Empire) and Electronic Arts will work on at least two more projects.
The Iron Man game was announced by the Andrew Wilson-led publisher and Disney in September, but that’s just the beginning. According to Electronic Arts’ website, there will be “at least” three action-adventure games for PC and consoles from EA, set in the Marvel universe with original stories. Iron Man, in particular, will be attractive: the two Iron Man games we saw in the second half of the 2000s weren’t that memorable…
“We have long been fans of Marvel and their impressive leadership, so this is a remarkable moment for our developers and our players and fans. We look forward to welcoming Marvel into the EA family of creators and know this collaboration will produce exceptional experiences for our players. We can’t wait to see players’ reactions when they suit up as Iron Man and do the extraordinary things this Super Hero is known for,” said Laura Miele, Electronic Arts’ COO, in the press release.
“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,” added Joy Ong, Marvel Games’ executive vice president.
Speaking about the upcoming Iron Man game, Electronic Arts said that its story will “tap into the character’s rich history” and will not ignore Tony Stark’s complexity, charisma and creative genius, “allowing players to experience what it’s like to play as Iron Man truly.” The development team is headed by Olivier Proulx (Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy) and includes industry veterans such as Ian Frazier, Maelenn Lumineau and JF Poirier.
