“Long overdue” was a phrase that came to mind when EA Motive announced it was developing an all-new single-player, third-person action-adventure iron man Game in partnership with Marvel.
While the fan-favorite Avenger was previously the focus of the odd standalone, it’s a playable component of Square Enix’s clunky game avenger Game and even a virtual reality experience courtesy of Camouflaj x Sony Interactive Entertainment, the latest project from EA Motive promises to be the first iron man Game actually worth the time of day.
The game in question will appear to feature an entirely original narrative that will “tap into Iron Man’s rich history,” channeling the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark, and allowing players to feel what it’s like, truly Iron to be man Hopefully this means sandbox exploration between the clouds a la Insomniac Games phenomenal Spiderman and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. And a killer JARVIS HUD.

The Montreal-based studio is currently led by Olivier Proulx, who has worked on previous Marvel titles in the past such as: Guardians of the Galaxy. Proulx will be joined by a “dedicated team of passionate industry veterans” including Ian Frazier (Star Wars: Squadrons, Mass Effect: Andromeda), Maëlenn Lumineau (Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey) and JF Poirier.
“It is an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to create a video game based on one of the most iconic superheroes in entertainment today,” said Olivier Proulx.
“We have an amazing opportunity to create a new and unique story to call our own. Marvel encourages us to create something new. We have a lot of freedom, which is very exciting for the team.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with the talented team at Motive Studio to bring their original vision of one of Marvel’s most important, powerful and beloved characters,” said Bill Rosemann, vice president & creative director of Marvel Games.
“Her experience of delivering both established worlds of entertainment and exciting gameplay – combined with her authentic passion for the armored icon – will fuel our quest to deliver a love letter to an iconic hero in the form of the ultimate Iron Man video game.”
In the same blog post that signaled an intention to publish one iron man Game also confirmed to EA Motive that it is in the final stages of development of the upcoming one Empty room Remake arriving on January 27, 2023. But that’s not the only thing they cook in the kitchen.

Sources indicate that Black Panther is the subject of another Marvel title being developed by EA Games (or one of its many affiliates), currently codenamed Project Rainier.
“The game is designed as an open-world, single-player game where players actually become the new Black Panther,” writes Jason Collins Huge freakin robot.
“The Direct’s report is a bit unclear as to whether this is an adaptation of Black Panther’s origin story or just another Black Panther action title.”
Like Iron Man, the character – portrayed on screens by the late great Chadwick Boseman – was a playable component of Square Enix avenger Game. Hopefully the folks at Electronic Arts live up to that.
