EA and Marvel Entertainment have announced a multi-title collaboration to bring action-adventure games. The first title in development is an Iron Man game out of Motive Studios.
The long-term deal will develop at least three new action adventure games that will be available for consoles and PC. Each of the games will feature its own original story that is set in the Marvel universe.
Iron Man is the first game in development as part of the deal which will be a single-player, third-person, action-adventure game. The original narrative will tap into the rich history of the character, channeling the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark, and enabling players to feel what it’s like to truly play Iron Man.
Developing team of the game is led by Olivier Proulx, who brings experience working on past Marvel titles like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and is joined by a dedicated team of passionate industry veterans including Ian Frazier, Maëlenn Lumineau, and JF Poirier at the studio
Laura Miele, COO at EA
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 Super Hero is known for.
Jay Ong, Executive Vice President at Marvel Games added,
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.
