The game is described as a “narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game,” with its own completely original story and take on the Marvel Universe. This will also be the first game from the newly formed AAA game studio, which was formed by industry legend Amy Hennig and Electronic Arts veteran Julian Beak.
“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said Hennig, President, Skydance New Media. “The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery and thrills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience. It’s an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity, and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring and to enable our players to embody these heroes that they love.”
