Video games have carried the legacy ofIron Mansince Robert Downey Jr. stepped down as the billionaire superhero in the movies. However, the attempt hasn’t been very fruitful as the character’s presence inMarvel’s Avengersdidn’t exactly become the apple of the fans’ eyes. Still, efforts haven’t been stopped yet and the fan-favorite superhero is reportedly getting a standalone open-world game.
Open-world games are fun but the superhero genre is more inclined towards a linear narrative. Still, games likeMarvel’s Spider-Manand its associates have become standard for open-world in this bracket. Now Electronic Arts’ Motive Studio is developing anIron Mangame which may raise questions if it’ll enlarge this bracket or fall out of it to become another strange kid on the block.
EA May Do Better With An Open World Setting in an Iron Man Game
In the latest job listing at EA, the team has a place for one Senior Technical Artist who can “help oversee the rendering related aspects of an open world action-adventure AAA title.” It also mentions thatthe opportunity is strictlyfor Montreal, QC, Canada. Details regarding the game have remained sparse since its announcement in 2022 and concerns regarding its status began emerging after the company announced mass layoffs.
Not Even Marvel’s Spider-Man Could Win in a Fight Against God of War’s Kratos in the Latest Competition From PlayStation
Nonetheless, the job post should deliver some reassurance to the fans as the game is without a shadow of a doubt in development. EA’s Montreal-based Motive Studio is overseeing the development and fans can expect a fine product as the developer hasworked on remakes of gameslikeMass Effect 2andDead Space.
But that doesn’t go without saying that EA has not been in a very good place with the open-world setting lately. TakeBattlefield 2042for instance. Just likeCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3stained the franchise,Battlefield 2042too was a killer (literally). Both the military shooters are also an example of the fact that none of the video game franchises is untouchable.
Electronic Arts Must Have a Lot of Marvel On Its Plate
Iron Manmay be the new crown bearer among the Marvel video games if it won’t be affected by the quantity contagion. Besides a few names, the recent Marvel movies and TV shows have been a great disaster, all thanks to the bulk content, poor VFX, and incorporation of AI in them. Akin to the situation, alot of video games associated with the franchiseare in development.

Among is one standaloneBlack Panthergame which another EA studio dubbed Cliffhanger Games is developing. Other Marvel games that players may look forward to include1943: Rise of Hydra,Blade,Wolverine, and more.
Both,Iron ManandBlack Pantherwon’t just be competing against the superhero genre, but open-world settings too, whichMarvel’s Spider-Mangames have mastered already. EA has got to figure out attentively how it is going to overshadow them.
