It’s been reported thatMarvel 1943will launch in late 2025, possibly around the holiday season. It’s definitely a perfect time to release a Captain America-based game sometime this year, especially with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) putting the focus on Sam Wilson as the new Cap and his subsequent adventures.
Black Panther
Cliffhanger Games is currently developing a standaloneBlack Panthergame under EA, which will reportedly be an open-world adventure that may utilize African martial arts in its combat. One interesting rumor is that players allegedly have the power tochoose the next Black Panther, which includes the likes of Shuri and Erik Killmonger as possible options. This would mean that the game might have a choose-your-own-adventure style of story.
Official details about EA’sBlack Panthergame are still under wraps. Given that it’s still in active development, it’s possible that it might come out in the next year or so, but nothing is for certain.
Iron Man
EA is also working with Motive Studio to develop anIron Mangame. Perhaps one of the most recognizable Marvel heroes, largely thanks to Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal in the MCU, the upcoming standalone game has some big shoes to fill. Many fans also expect a lot since Motive is the studio behind theDead Spaceremake, which would hopefully mean that theIron Mangame would have strong flying mechanics.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Following the success of theSpider-Mangames, Insomniac is currently developingMarvel’sWolverinefor the PlayStation 5. The game’s story and gameplay are still mysteries, but it’s likely to be violent; Wolverine/Logan is a particularly deadly mutant thanks to adamantium claws and regenerative powers.
Marvel’s Wolverinedoesn’t have an official release date yet, but it’s likely that Insomniac is taking its time to refine every detail in the game. TheSpider-Mantitles set a precedent for what Insomniac is able to deliver, andWolverinecould be a good place to start for the studio’s next open-world title. For instance,Wolverinecould lead to a subsequentX-Menvideo game.
Marvel’s Blade
Said to be a third-person action-adventure game,Marvel’s Bladefollows the titular character as he fights through hordes of evil vampires in Paris. Developer Arkane Lyon, known for its work onDishonoredandDeathloop, has taken the lead inmakingBladememorable with a rumored morality system, among other features.
