“We can’t wait to see players’ reactions when they suit up as Iron Man and do the extraordinary things this super hero is known for.”
Jay Ong, evp at Marvel Games, continued: “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.

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.”
