New Iron Man Game

Electronic Arts has partnered with Marvel for several titles, including a fresh Iron Man game from Motive Studio located in Montreal. Although the project is still in infancy, we’ve gathered a substantial amount of information about the game. Here, we compile everything we currently know about EA’s Iron Man.

The upcoming Iron Man title will join a limited selection of dedicated Iron Man games released over time. Years ago, Sega launched game adaptations for the first two Iron Man films featuring Robert Downey Jr., with Gameloft developing a mobile game inspired by Iron Man 3.

Now, Iron Man is poised to reclaim the spotlight with a new game from the creators of the Dead Space remake and the campaign for Battlefield 6. Continue reading to discover all we know so far.

When will Iron Man be released?

The new Iron Man game currently has no confirmed release date, estimated launch window, or fiscal year listed on EA’s release schedule. It was announced in September 2022, when many noted that EA might have revealed the game prematurely in its development cycle as part of the common strategy of early game reveals to assist in recruitment. In September 2022, EA indicated the game was still in pre-production.

What type of game is the new Iron Man?

This new Iron Man game is a single-player action-adventure title played from a third-person perspective. EA has yet to release any visuals, leaving us unsure of how it will appear in action. However, it’s reasonable to envision players soaring around in Iron Man’s iconic and formidable suit.

EA currently has six job openings at Motive Studio related to the game, but details are sparse. For instance, a senior environment artist position requires someone experienced in crafting “immersive environments in AAA games.” The candidate should comprehend “what makes a level enjoyable and captivating,” which is applicable to all games. Another ad, for a game designer role, seeks an individual to “create and execute enemy AI that provides an exhilarating and authentic Iron Man combat gameplay experience.” A different ad, for a level designer, is searching for someone to craft “extremely engaging, rewarding game levels that align with our creative vision.”

Preorder Iron Man

Preorders for Iron Man are not yet available, so exercise caution regarding any website or platform soliciting payment to secure a copy of the game.

Iron Man trailer details

As of now, there is no trailer for the new Iron Man game, nor any indication of when one might be released. The summer season is renowned for major gaming announcements, but EA has yet to suggest it will have any updates regarding the new Iron Man game in the near future.

Iron Man platforms

At this moment, the new Iron Man game does not have any confirmed platforms, but EA has affirmed that its three forthcoming Marvel titles will be launched on console and PC.

Iron Man’s narrative, setting, and characters

EA has yet to disclose the official storyline for the Iron Man game, but they have indicated that it will feature an “original plot” encapsulating the “complexity, charm, and ingenuity of Tony Stark.” EA aims for this project to allow players to “experience what it’s like to truly embody Iron Man.” As the game unfolds in the Marvel universe, it’s anticipated that additional Marvel characters will make an appearance.

Marvel’s Bill Rosemann mentioned that the game aspires to be a “celebration of a legendary hero.”

Iron Man game engine

The game engine for the Iron Man project has not been finalized, but open job listings for the title, like this one, are looking for candidates familiar with “advanced game engines” such as the latest versions of Unreal and Unity. However, another job posting specifically mentions Unreal Engine 5.

Who is developing Iron Man?

Motive Studio, based in Montreal, is developing the new Iron Man game. The studio previously released the Dead Space remake in 2023 and is also working on the campaign for Battlefield 6.

The executive producer for the game is Olivier Proulx, who previously contributed to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy game under Square Enix. Other developers involved in Iron Man’s creation include Ian Frazier (senior creative director for Star Wars: Squadrons), Ma??lenn Lumineau (production director for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey), and JF Poirier (senior producer for Star Wars: Battlefront II).

Other Marvel games in progress

When EA unveiled the new Iron Man in 2022, they indicated it was the first of “multiple new titles.”

as a component of the agreement between EA and Marvel. In 2023, EA unveiled a Black Panther game, with Cliffhanger Games set to develop the title. EA’s collaboration with Marvel encompasses a minimum of three games, indicating that another announcement is forthcoming for the current lineup.

EA stepping away from certain licensed IP

In 2024, as part of EA’s statement regarding its decision to lay off approximately 700 employees, the organization declared it would be “shifting away from the creation of future licensed IP that we do not foresee as successful within our evolving industry.” The corporation did not provide specific information about which potential forthcoming licensed projects may not proceed, nor whether any Marvel ventures might be affected.

In light of EA’s total silence regarding its Iron Man, Black Panther, and additional Marvel game in development, some fans and industry analysts have voiced concerns that not all these initiatives may progress. Nonetheless, there is no evidence to suggest any alterations regarding Marvel’s forthcoming licensed IP roster.

Regarding licensed IP, a firm like EA must compensate the license owner with a fee. A report indicated that the license fee with Disney for a third installment in the new Star Wars Battlefront series partially influenced the company’s apparent dismissal of DICE’s proposal.

The precise terms of EA’s arrangement with Marvel concerning its forthcoming three-game roster remain unclear, leaving unknown the royalty rates or other business details that might be applicable.
