According to an agreement announced by EA on Monday, the company will launch an “Iron Man” game and at least two other action-adventure games revolving around characters from the Marvel Universe. The Iron Man game will feature the story of fictional billionaire Tony Stark.
EA said the new game will be available on consoles and PC, a deal that gives it access to one of the most valuable companies in entertainment, largely thanks to the success of movies based on Marvel Comics characters.
EA has previously cooperated with Disney, the parent company of Marvel, to develop games based on the “Star Wars” movie series for mobile devices, PCs and consoles, so the two sides are not the first time to cooperate.
EA previously announced that it was working with Marvel Games on an Iron Man-based superhero game. It will be a single-player, third-person action-adventure game that is still in early development.
The game was developed by EA’s Motive studio in Montreal, and the team is led by Olivier Proulx, the producer of “Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy”, so it’s still relatively reliable.
Additionally, the game will feature an original story rather than what you’ve seen in movies or comics. According to EA, the game will tap into Iron Man’s rich history, channeling the complexity, charisma and creative genius of Tony Stark, allowing players to experience what it’s like to truly be Iron Man.
