Iron Man is still yet to be shown (EA) A major Marvel title has been delayed to next year, as details emerge around EA’s upcoming Iron Man game via a job listing. It’s easy to forget about the huge number of Marvel games in development, as there are so few tangible details about any of them. Beyond Insomniac’s Wolverine, we have a standalone Black Panther game from Cliffhanger Games, an Iron Man title from EA Motive, Arkane Lyon’s Blade, throwback brawler Marvel Cosmic Invasion, and Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra from Uncharted director Amy Hennig. While the latter was due to be released later this year, developer Skydance New Media has announced it has now been delayed to early 2026. ‘Taking this additional time will allow us to add more polish, and make sure we give you the best possible experience, and one that lives up to our vision,’ read the brief statement from Skydance Games. ‘We have some exciting things in store and look forward to sharing more soon!’ A trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra was released last year. The action game will revolve around four heroes, namely Captain America, Black Panther, Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones, and Wakandan leader Nanali, in an original story. Considering we haven’t seen any gameplay from the project yet, the delay isn’t exactly surprising. A 2026 launch could benefit the game timing wise too, as it might get a bump from the release of crossover film Avengers: Doomsday in May next year. However, that does start to stray perilously close to the release date of GTA 6, which is currently set for May 26. Beyond Marvel: 1943: Rise Of Hydra, a job listing for EA Motive’s Iron Man has outed new details about the single-player action game. As noted in the level designer advert, EA Motive is looking for someone who can ‘design and build major single-player levels, within the project’s creative constraints’. More Trending While it isn’t stated explicitly, this description suggests the game could be level-based. However, a prior job listing on the same game described it as an ‘open world action adventure AAA title’, so it’s unclear if plans have changed, or if it’s simply referring to levels within the open world. The listing also calls for ‘experience in single-player action RPG games’, which is the first mention we’ve had of any role-playing mechanics (even if it will likely just mean some sort of skill tree. Development on Iron Man is being led by Olivier Proulx, who previously worked on the acclaimed Guardians Of The Galaxy game for Square Enix. No footage has been shown, yet but the studio apparently hit a ‘major internal milestone’ on the project last year. With so many unknowns, we could hear more about both projects at Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025. However, EA Motive is also working on the next Battlefield, which is set to launch before March 2026, so any news about Iron Man might be held back till after that.
