EA and Marvel Entertainment Announce a Multi-Title Collaboration to Make Action Adventure Games

"Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) today announced it is collaborating 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 these games will be their own original story set in the Marvel universe with the first title in-development being a single player, third person, action-adventure Iron Man game coming out of Motive Studios.

“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,” said Laura Miele, COO at EA. “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.”

“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,” said Jay Ong, Executive Vice President at Marvel Games. “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.”"

so from Star Wars, EA moves to Marvel
.
out of three, one is Iron Man ... pretty sure atleast one from the rest two will be a typical EA live-service game

That is if it doesn't get cancelled because we'll EA. They've promised a whole bunch of Star Wars games since 2016 and only got one out. Looks like Respawn is carrying EA, but I don't want them to take on too much but they're the only ones doing anything.

It'll be avengers gaas failure all over again

[Army_of_Darkness]

Marvel doesn't care who they license their characters to, they just want the moneeeeey!

[-Foxtrot]

Annnnnd Disney don’t learn from their quality output

[isarai]

🤢

[PapaBop]

And you'd think Marvel would have learned their lesson after Star Wars. I guess money talks, everything else walks.

[Desperadoo]

not a fan of ironman. unless it blows me away

[Outlawzz]

Oh no...

[senorfartcushion]

Time is a flat circle -

- or that Niche crap is out of date and nothing working within the games industry ever changes.

[Knightofelemia]

So it's EA's turn to ruin a Marvel hero now.

[ziggyzinfirion]

Oh no, they're releasing a sequel to Anthem.

[dumahim]

Anthem reskin

[Double_O_Revan]

Gotta use all those assets somehow.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I love the concept of Anthem, just wish they had made a better game.

[shinoff2183]

incoming nickel and diming spree. Damn it ea stay out of stuff

[Hofstaderman]

So sub par games then.

[CorndogBurglar]

The only hope I have is how Fallen Order turned out. It was a single player game with microtransactions. Hopefully they follow that.

[mkis007]

No loot boxes and no gaas.

[Blaze929]

Cool

[hotnickles]

Anthem reskin 😂 I have never played it. Would it have been better as a story driven single player?

[staticall]

EA again, really? Disney, did I ever tell you what the definition of "insanity" is?

[ActualEngineer]

1) Iron-man game: Fallen ORDER type of game with more rpg elements.
2) Avengers game: Battlefield - Overwatch style hero shooter
3) Open World Co-op arpg Hero game: GTA V style, with similar GTA V style multiplayer

Mark my words.

[jznrpg]

Great…

[Knushwood Butt]

I smell franchise fatigue.

[gold_drake]

riddled with microtransactions ha
