Electronic Arts locks in three-game deal with Marvel
Marvel is working with Electronic Arts (EA) on three brand-new video games — all of which will be based on the comic book publisher’s legendary characters.
On Monday, EA announced that the collaboration will result in three Marvel titles. One of which is the recently-revealed Iron Man project from EA Motive.
“We look forward to welcoming Marvel into the EA family of creators and know this collaboration will produce exceptional experiences for our players,” Laura Miele, COO at EA, said in a press release. “We can’t wait to see players’ reactions when they suit up as Iron Man and do the extraordinary things this superhero is known for.”
The other two titles are a mystery for now. However, rumors of a Black Panther game by EA have been doing the rounds for months.
We’re thrilled to announce a multi-title collaboration with @Marvel to develop action adventure games for consoles and PC!
Each game will be their own original story set in the Marvel universe.

“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,” Jay Ong, executive VP at Marvel Games, said. “We pride ourselves on being enthusiastic, creative collaborators with developers, so they have the freedom to create something deeply unique and truly remarkable.”
Marvel has been making an enormous push into video games lately, especially with Marvel Snap being such a success.
