Exclusive scoop: Details on Skydance's upcoming Marvel game

The world of Marvel gaming is set to flourish once again with the upcoming releases of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 this autumn and EA Motive’s Iron Man game in the works. While games like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy may not have sequels planned, there is always room for spiritual successors, given Marvel and Disney’s stranglehold on popular culture. However, the latest addition to the Marvel gaming universe has yet to be given an official title.

For now, Skydance’s Marvel game is the only known way to refer to the World War II-era game featuring Captain America, Black Panther, Gabriel Jones, and Nanali. The premise itself is enticing, with its unique setting and historical era, but the challenge of balancing four distinct protagonists throughout the game makes it even more intriguing. At present, this is all that is known about the game, but Skydance needs to give it a legitimate title reveal to build excitement among fans.

If Skydance's Marvel game is still in its early stages of development, fans may not be too disappointed if there isn't much information released about it for a while. With Marvel's Spider-Man 2 set to be released before fall, it could help ease the anticipation for Skydance's Marvel game, which may still have a ways to go before its release.

However, Skydance needs to reveal the actual title of the Marvel game as soon as possible. Announcing the game too early without a confirmed title suggests that it is still far from completion.

However, Skydance's Marvel game still lacks a tangible title that fans can refer to. As the game was announced almost a year ago at the D23 Expo in September 2022, it's high time for the developers to finalize an official name. This seemingly small detail will significantly benefit the game's visibility, as fans can then easily discuss it without resorting to the generic "Skydance's Marvel game" label. Moreover, a distinct title will help the game stay in the minds of enthusiasts amidst the flurry of gaming news this summer.

While gameplay footage featuring the four unique protagonists will undoubtedly pique fans' interest, it's not the most pressing matter at hand. At this point, it's unclear how far along the game is in development. Still, showcasing it at the PlayStation Showcase this week or at Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest in a few weeks would be a perfect opportunity to remind fans of its existence. Ultimately, a name-drop is crucial for Skydance's Marvel game to remain relevant in the coming months and to have its own story and gameplay reveals land successfully in the future, even if other Marvel games generate more buzz in the meantime.
