All we know so far about what EA and Marvel are planning is that all the games will be action adventures for PC and console, with “original stories” set in the Marvel Universe. Seeing as there are many different Marvel Universes now, what with the MCU, comic book 616, and others, it remains to be seen what EA’s take on the superheroes will look like. Neither company has clued us in on which do-gooders are starring in the games yet either, so I’m just going to assume it’ll be the Young Avengers and the Eternals. Hi, Kieron. Marvel’s recent history in games has been patchy. Yes, there are standout successes such as Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and the soon to hit PC Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Ed had a blast with Eidos Montréal’s Guardians Of The Galaxy too, calling it “unmissable”. On the other Infinity Gauntlet-ed hand, you have games such as Marvel’s Avengers, which never really seemed to stand much of a chance. Still, Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns seems like a promising blend of XCOM tactics, faffing about with cards, and strictly platonic superhero palliness. No more details about EA and Marvel’s upcoming slate of superhero games have been revealed yet, but I’ll keep you updated when more radioactive news ooze trickles through.
