Electronic Arts Partner With Marvel For Multiple Action Titles

Electronic Arts officially announced today they have partnered with Marvel to create multiple action-adventure titles. The team confirmed that they are working on at least three different games currently in development, set to be released on both consoles and PC. Each game will have its own original story set within the Marvel universe; however, no word as to whether they will share any continuity with any of the recently released games, such as Marvel's Avengers or Guardians Of The Galaxy. (Don't put it past Marvel just because they were published by Square Enix.) The first confirmed game is a single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man game coming out of Motive Studios. We have more info and a couple of quotes from today's announcement below.

"Developed in collaboration with Marvel, the Iron Man game will feature an original narrative that taps 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 as Iron Man. The team is being 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."

"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."
