EA, Marvel announce multi-title collaboration; Iron Man game in early development

Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that it is collaborating with Marvel Entertainment on a long-term deal to develop at least three new action adventure games. These games will be available for consoles as well as PC. EA – which recently developed and published that last game in the FIFA franchise, FIFA 23 – says that each game will have its own original story set in the Marvel universe.

“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, COO at EA.
As per Miele, Marvel has “an intentional, deliberate strategy to have a balanced portfolio.” “There will be Marvel fans who don’t play other EA games,” he added.

EA announced that out of three, the first title in development is a single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man game. The game is now in early development at its Montreal-based Motive Studio.
“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,” Jay Ong, Executive Vice President at Marvel Games.
EA explains that the Iron Man game is being developed in collaboration with Marvel and “will feature an original narrative that taps into the rich history of the character.” Gamers can play as Iron Man and feel the “complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark.”
Iron Man game along with other two not-yet-announced games will join a long list of superhero video games rolling out. US-based Insomniac Games is working on a Marvel’s Spider-Man sequel and a standalone Wolverine game. There is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League which is scheduled to arrive in 2023 and Marvel’s Midnight Suns game is coming on December 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
