EA and Marvel have announced that their previously announced untitled Iron Man game is now the first in what will be a minimum three-game deal between the two companies.
The announcement today declares that, under the agreement, EA will develop “at least three new action adventure games that will be available for consoles and PC”.

Each game will be its own original story and set in the Marvel universe, so won’t necessarily tie in to any of the films or indeed, the MCU.
While names and studios haven’t been revealed for the other two, the first of these games will be – of course, the recently announced Iron Man game at EA Motive.
The Iron Man game promises to channel “the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark, and enabling players to feel what it’s like to truly play as Iron Man”. But a release date has not yet been set.
EA COO Laura Miele provides a quote on the partnership from her company’s side. “We look forward to welcoming Marvel into the EA family of creators and know this collaboration will produce exceptional experiences for our players.”
Meanwhile, Marvel Games Executive Vice President Jay Ong had similarly glowing praise for EA Motive, saying “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.”
“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.”
That far future comment seems to imply we won’t be hearing about the game for a while – but we’ll let you know when we do.
In the meantime, EA Motive are in the final stretch of their Dead Space Remake, which is set to arrive early next year.
