New Marvel game reportedly being developed by EA
EA, MarvelThe next Marvel video game could be on the way from EA.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is still dominating film and television, but Marvel is just beginning its attempt to take over video games.
From the existing hits like Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel’s Avengers to the upcoming Marvel games Midnight Suns, Spider-Man 2, and Wolverine, Marvel games are coming fast and furious in the near future.
According to the latest insider information, the next Marvel game after that group will be coming from one of the biggest video game publishers.
EA making the next Marvel game?
EAAccording to industry insider Nick Baker on the XboxEra Podcast, EA is set to develop an upcoming Marvel game. Baker did not go into detail as to which heroes or IP might be part of that development, but it does seem that he knows and did not want to risk spoiling details.
Baker said, “This new source sends me a DM the other day, saying: ‘Oi, EA’s making a Marvel game.’ I can’t [say more] — because he mentioned what it would probably be about (which IP it would be about) — and I can’t even give clues.”
This would be EA’s first experience developing a game based on a Marvel property, but it wouldn’t be their first collaboration with a major film property. EA famously developed Star Wars Battlefront 2, which was panned by critics and players for being full of microtransactions.
However, EA also oversaw the development of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order by Respawn Entertainment, which was widely praised. It’s not a foregone conclusion that an EA-developed Marvel game would be another Battlefront.
For now, though, fans are left to speculate as to which character or group this new mystery game could be based on. No potential release date has yet been confirmed.
