Electronic Arts has announced it's working on a brand new Iron Man game.
Developed in partnership with Marvel Games, Motive Studio — which previously made Star Wars Squadrons and is currently working on the Dead Space remake — is in charge of the new game, which will be a single-player, third-person action adventure starring the armoured Avenger.
In a post on its official website, the publisher says the game will feature an original narrative "that taps into the rich history of Iron Man". Though not confirmed at this point, it seems as though this game will be unrelated to 2020's PSVR title, Marvel's Iron Man VR.
Marvel Games' Bill Rosemann says he's "thrilled" by the partnership, and that they aim to "deliver a love letter to a legendary hero in the form of the ultimate Iron Man video game". The unnamed game is in pre-production right now, so it'll be quite some time before we see this come to fruition.
Are you excited for a big new Iron Man game? Let us know in the comments section below.

Surely this should have been announced at that Marvel games presentation.
Hope, this one will be good. But time will show...
Hmm. At least it’s single player but I can’t say that I’m that hyped yet until we see anything tangible.
Perhaps Imsoniac would be first choice if they didn't have their plate full already. Jerdi Fallen Order was one of my favourite last gen games so I can believe that EA can deliver a solid Iron Man. But let's see.
@Peterchu especially as this announcement has no trailer or anything to go with it, an announcement there would've raised the levels massively
We need to normalise announcing games with a gameplay trailer 👍
@Kanji-Tatsumi I think many companies would if it weren't for all these leaks.
So next gen right? I mean if they start full production next year after dead space releases than its going take at least 3 years to develop?
Great. Another Avenger gets a game, a movie or TV show. Meanwhile, other than the upcoming Wolverine game, X-men get next to nothin'. Thanks Disney!
... More Marvel swill... great.
@Kanji-Tatsumi Apparently a big reason why companies do this is to help with the hiring process. It's much easier for them to hire if they say "Come and work on Iron Man" than if they were to say "Come and work on an unnanounced AAA project".
I hope it is better than Iron Man PS3, which is one of the worst games I have played. Superman N64 level bad.
I am a big fan of Iron Man, will def. check it out when it releases.
If they use the anthem engine, I'm out!
I like 3rd person adventures, so I'm likely to look, but like many, I'm a little bored of marvel avengers type games. There are more interesting IP's to be pursued imo...
So that takes care of the announcement of a Marvel game for this week, let's see which one we get next week 🤞
I mean I like Marvel alright, but ugh, not super keen on basically every major pub putting all their eggs in the Marvel and Star Wars basket.
Always wanted an iron man game that isn't VR, this excites me a bit
Iron Man has been my favorite MARVEL character since I was a kid so I'm super stoked for this. Now let's just hope they don't mess it up.
Another marvel game 🙄 & being developed by EA 🙄
Would rather get an Iron Man VR sequel for PSVR2...fingers crossed.
Generic Man fighting robots I assume.
Oh boy... it they mess this up just give everything to Sony and call it a day.
Hope its open world.
Single player, third person, action adventure was all you had to say to pique my interest.
I'm imagining it'll play like an open world DBZ game; flying all around with missions and things happening in the overworld for you to react with, or blast with your uni-beam like a kamehameha wave.
Can't wait to see it! Has me excited at third persion, single player and being led by Olivier Proulx who has experience working on Guardians of the Galaxy. Just hope it doesn't use anything of Anthem. Really enjoyed Iron Man in the SE Avengers game so I hope this standalone version will be so much better
@IslandLogic X-Men fans are getting X-men 97. It also only been 3 years since the Fox purchases went through, so of course we arent getting any new movie yet.
Single player. This is all I needed to hear. Hopefully it is worth the wait.
Yes. I'm hoping I'll be able to customize the different armors and have a vast array of different suits to build.
Lol, I bet that Anthem engine will be used one way or another.
I hope that it’s not pay to win
Cool.we will see how it goes.word up son
oh god yet another marvel game every studio seems to be jumping on the marvel or starwars bandwagon
I bet they'll use squadrons engine, with the similar flying, maybe you will drift the same way hehe.
😴
Can we at the very least get a title?🤣 I'll get the creative foreclosure paperwork started📃
@ThatMusicFan The movie industry has way too much Marvel tbh. Games are starting to push it.
Lotta Marvel stuff recently but if they hand them to good developers and keep them single-player focused then keep ‘em coming!
Just when you think this industry couldn't get any more boring, another Marvel game is announced😐 Talk about late to the party too. Ugh......
I’m going to assume that they’ll be borrowing from BioWare here, Anthem’s flying was pretty good.
@theMEGAniggle Its so useless announcing a title without nothing but a name.
@Flaming_Kaiser it’s just as bad as CGI trailers (when nothing else of the game has been shown) for me
My first thought/question was. How much for grind jumping to buy certain armour sets direct?
@theMEGAniggle I think this is worse this is useless.
@ThatMusicFan What about the 10 year roadmap of movies...... ☹️
@Flaming_Kaiser equal standing for me. I hate it a lot, evenly
Single-player, third-person action adventure? Count me in!
Seriously loved the character and am excited for this new game.
