The deal kicks off with the upcoming Iron Man game EA and Marvel have locked in a deal for at least three action-adventure games. Electronic Arts will develop the titles, set in the Marvel universe, for PC and console.
The deal was first reported today by Bloomberg, (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-31/electronic-arts-strikes-three-game-deal-with-marvel) followed by an announcement from EA (https://www.ea.com/en-ca/news/ea-marvel-entertainment-multi-title-collaboration). Marvel and Electronic Arts will collaborate on "at least three" new action-adventure games, available for PC and console.
These games will be original stories set in the Marvel universe, and we already know about one of them. EA Motive was recently confirmed (https://www.destructoid.com/ea-motive-iron-man-marvel-games-reveal-single-player-action-adventure/) to be working on an Iron Man game.
"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," said Marvel Games executive VP Jay Ong. "We pride ourselves on being enthusiastic, creative collaborators with developers so they have the freedom to create something deeply unique and truly remarkable. 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."

A Marvel-ous deal EA has a history with the Star Wars series already. Games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/) have done pretty well. Well enough, in fact, that Respawn's working on several more (https://www.destructoid.com/three-star-wars-games-coming-from-respawn-ea-lucasfilm-news/) Star Wars projects.
With a Marvel deal locked in, it looks like Electronic Arts is deepening its ties to Disney properties.
The Marvel universe isn't just stopping there, though. Skydance recently teased (https://www.destructoid.com/marvel-skydance-new-media-project-teaser-captain-america-black-panther/) its upcoming Captain America-Black Panther project. (Skydance is also working on (https://www.destructoid.com/skydance-star-wars-new-original-game-lucasfilm-amy-hennig/) a Star Wars project.)
Plus, Marvel's Midnight Suns (https://www.destructoid.com/the-midnight-suns-season-pass-will-have-a-few-heavy-hitting-characters/) is just around the corner in December. And Marvel Snap is gradually taking over everyone's phones. The Marvel games roll-out just keeps growing.
