Its a fact that Iron Man will be the protagonist of a new video game developed by EA Motive, a studio of Electronic Arts best known for their fantastic remake of Dead Space. Little is known about this project, so a new piece of news came as a pleasant surprise to the entire community.
Recently, EA Motive published a blog post that served as an update on the studios progress. There, Patrick Klaus, the general manager of the team, took the opportunity to talk about their video game based on Iron Man.
According to the developer, Iron Man is still in the pre-production stage. It seems that the Marvel project will take a while to arrive, so fans better practice their patience.
"We are still in pre-production and taking our time to build the best foundation for development. But we are already finding so many opportunities for the story, design, and gameplay of Iron Man, and its exciting to see the fantasy beginning to come to life," he explained.
EA Motive has two pieces of good news for Iron Man fans
The fantastic news is that they have made a very important decision for the development of Iron Man. It turns out that after a long period of analysis, they have decided to use Unreal Engine 5 as the games graphics engine, giving life to the game.
Thats not all! Another piece of good news for Iron Man fans is that EA Motive is listening to the community. Just as they did with Dead Space, the studio has a group of fans who are closely witnessing the development process to provide feedback and steer the project in the right direction.
"Even in this very early phase of the process, weve created a Community Council made up of Iron Man and Marvel fans who, like in Dead Space, will give us their opinions on practically everything throughout the development process. Meanwhile, weve chosen Unreal Engine 5 as the game engine, so the development team can work their magic and create something truly special," explained Patrick Klaus.
What do these good news pieces mean for Iron Man?
All of this sounds promising, but what does it mean for the Iron Man video game? Firstly, its important to note that EA Motive is following the steps they took with Dead Space, a remake that was critically acclaimed by both reviewers and players. So the fact that they are following a successful formula should be exciting for gamers.
Furthermore, the choice of Unreal Engine 5 is also good news. Initially, this means a significant step forward in the development of Iron Man, which is necessary for the project to progress. The other advantage is that using Unreal Engine 5 will help them avoid many of the issues that often arise when studios opt for in-house engines.
