EA and Marvel Announces Multi-Title Game Collab

Electronic Arts have announced a collaboration with Marvel on a long-term deal to develop at least three new action-adventure games that will be available for consoles and PC. Each of the games will have its own original story set in the Marvel Universe. The first title planned is a single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man game from Motive Studios.

Laura Miele, COO, EA said, “We have been long-time fans of Marvel and their impressive leadership, so this is a remarkable moment for our developers as well as our players and fans. 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 superhero is known for.”

Jay Ong, Executive VP, Marvel Games stated, “At Marvel, we strive to find best-in-class teams who can take our characters on heroic journeys in ways they haven’t before, and collaborating with Electronic Arts will help us achieve that. We pride ourselves on being enthusiastic, creative collaborators with developers so they have the freedom to create something deeply unique and truly remarkable. 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.” 

Developed in collaboration with Marvel, the Iron Man game will feature an original narrative that taps into the character’s history.
