Marvel has entered an agreement with FIFA and Battlefield publisher EA to make at least three action adventure video games based on the Marvel comics.
As reported by Bloomberg, this deal will begin with the previously announced Iron Man game from EA Motive, with all three games coming to consoles and PC. Though details about what’s coming after Iron Man are still thin, each game will feature its own original story set in the Marvel universe.
Perhaps known more for its sports or traditional shooter games, EA is looking to increase its offerings with the Marvel deal. “We have an intentional, deliberate strategy to have a balanced portfolio,” said chief operating officer Laura Miele. “There will be Marvel fans who don’t play other EA games.”
It’s unclear if the second and third game will be centred on different Marvel characters like The Hulk or Thor or if they’ll be follow-ups to the Iron Man game, similar to what Insomniac did with Spider-Man, its spin-off Miles Morales, and upcoming sequel.
Nothing about a release schedule or single versus multiplayer focus was mentioned either, though we do know that EA Motive’s Iron Man is a “single player, action-adventure game”.
EA Motive is the developer behind the upcoming Dead Space remake and has previously worked on the likes of Star Wars: Squadrons and Star Wars: Battlefront 2, but we’ll just have to wait and see which other studios are involved with the remaining two Marvel projects.
