EA has today (October 31) announced that it will be collaborating with Marvel Entertainment on a long-term deal to develop “at least three” new games which will be available for consoles and PC.
In a blog on the EA website, the company announced its collaboration with Marvel and outlined the plans for future games, including further details regarding the first title from the partnership.
Each of the games will follow their own original stories in the Marvel universe, and the first one is already in development. Announced in September, a “single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man game” is being worked on at Motive Studios, which is known for its work on Star Wars: Squadrons and the upcoming Dead Space remake.
The Iron Man game will feature an “original narrative” that dives into the character’s deep history to channel “the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark”. The studio aims to give players the knowledge of how it truly feels to play and be Iron Man.
We’re thrilled to announce a multi-title collaboration with @Marvel to develop action adventure games for consoles and PC!
Each game will be their own original story set in the Marvel universe.💥
