Early in August, rumors surfaced regarding a new single player Iron Man title, but additional details were scarce. Following the no show at D23, Jeff Grubb attempted to fill in a couple of the gaps and seemed to indicate that Motive Studios is currently behind the Iron Man game. WhileEA Motive is currently putting the finishing touches on theDead Space Remake, Grubb hinted that players likely won’t be waiting too much longer to hear about the game officially, though the title appears to still be a long ways off.
In addition to Iron Man, Grubb followed his Tweet with a small update on EA’s other Marvel project involving Black Panther. While details on the game continue to be very slim, Grubb revealed that there’s a new team working on the game, though a good portion are made up of former developers who worked onShadow of Mordorat WB and Monolith. While that could provide a unique opportunity to add in a sort of Nemesis Style system,Warner Bros placed a patent on it back in 2021, which means it is off limits to outside studios.
As for Sony and Insomniac’s upcoming Marvel games, rumors continue to swirl around a potential State of Play sometime in September. Sony remains quiet on the possibility, but fans are hoping for a major E3 style showcase with major games getting shown off or revealed. Naturally,God of War: Ragnarokwould likely be a major piece considering it’s upcoming November launch, but fans are also hoping to seefuture titles likeMarvel’s Spider-Man 2as well as a new trailer for the upcomingWolverinegame. For now, fans continue to wait and hope for something to be announced soon.
