The developer of the upcoming Iron Man game is working with a collection of Marvel fans to improve the title throughout the development process.

According to EA Motive boss Patrick Klaus, the game is still in the early stages, and will be built using Unreal Engine 5.

“We’re still early in pre-production and taking our time to make sure we set the best possible foundation for development,” he said. “But already, we’re finding so many opportunities to explore story, design and gameplay with Iron Man, and it’s exciting to see the fantasy start coming alive.”

“Even this early in the process, we’ve put in place a Community Council made up of Iron Man and Marvel fans; as with Dead Space, they’ll be offering feedback on pretty much everything throughout the development process. Meanwhile, we’ve chosen Unreal Engine 5 as our game engine, in order to empower the dev team to work their magic and create something really special.”

EA Motive was the team that worked on the highly-acclaimed Dead Space remake released at the start of the year. You can play it for free October 26 if you have Xbox Game Pass. The Iron Man game was only announced last year so it’s some way off yet.

Iron Man isn’t the only Marvel project from published Electronic Arts - it’s also working on a game based on Black Panther from new studio Cliffhanger Games.
