​

EA has announced a new long-term deal with Marvel Games to develop "at least three new action adventure games" for consoles and PC.

The first game will be a single-player, third-person Iron Man game, coming from Motive Studio, developer of Star Wars: Squadrons and the upcoming Dead Space remake. The team is being led by Olivier Proulx, who served as a senior producer on Square Enix's Guardians of the Galaxy game from last year. It is expected to have an original story that makes use of the history of the Iron Man character, rather than being based off of a pre-existing comic storyline. It is still in pre-production, so it's unlikely we'll see any news for some time.

As of now, we are lacking any details on the other games in this deal, such as what characters they will feature, who will be developing them or if they are being worked on at the same time as Iron Man.

Perfect fusion of piss and shit

Seeing the quality of recent Marvel movies, their treatment of VFX artists and EA's reputation this makes for one really slimy handshake.

lmao what could possibly go wrong

What does the A in EA stand for nowadays? Sure as hell can't be 'Arts' anymore.

 

[CoolMe]

Yea, definitely not holding my breath over this one.

Why are people complaining motive studios did great with star wars squadrons, just because they are under EA does mean they are evil too...

I hope EA doesn't ruin these games with endless DLC.

Anyway, has there been a good Iron Man game before? I can't remember one (there was that one on 360/PS3 but it was pretty crappy, I think). This could be the first.

Really hope EA won't screw him up.

Guardians of the Galaxy was awesome so that's a good start.

Bioware is basically living on borrowed time, and EA hasn't killed a studio recently. This might just be a measure to abide their murder quota.

Disney still hasn't learned that EA's agenda is to destroy brands..

EA are trash. Give the Marvel license to Sony. They know how to make a Triple A hero game.

Iron Man - The game begins with Tony Stark naked and forces you to buy his armor pieces as DLC.

Guardians was an interactive story with a very very boring and repetitive gameplay. I hope these ones are better... I wish Insomniac dealt with every Marvel game.

Have you looked at what Disney's doing these days? They're destroying, too.

Not relevant. That's Square Enix.

Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of premium currency!
