AnIron Manand Black Panther game are allegedly in the works from EA in the near future. Both characters have been highlighted in video games in the past, but Black Panther has never been the star of his own game. There are many Marvel games on the way, one including Black Panther in a World War 2 setting, that were officially announced during the Marvel and Disney D23 Expo showcase, but both the Iron Man and Black Panther games were absent from the announcements.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

There have been many appearances from Iron Man in past games. As the star of his own game in 2008 as well as a VR title in 2020, the billionaire playboy philanthropist character has gotten many moments to shine on his own. As he has been phased out of the MCU he is still a prominent figure in the video games, being one of the playable characters in the action-adventure brawler Avengers title in 2020. Though these games are not canon to the MCU, it can still be risky bringing in characters and having new games that feature them.

According to a Tweet by gaming industry insider Jeff Grubb (via ComicBook) both an Iron Man and Black Panther game are on their way from EA, though neither were mentioned during the showcase. Though these are just rumors, it is alleged that the Iron Man game will be released before the Black Panther game. They did mention that the games were both a ways away from being playable, but news of their release should be coming to gamers sooner than expected. There are no details about what either of the game styles will be like, but it could be similar to the original Iron Man game from 2008.

Fans Can Hope to Become Wakanda’s Next Hero Thanks to EA

This is not the first time the Black Panther and Iron Man games have been speculated on, as Grubb has discussed these being a possibility in the past, but many were surprised that they were not announced during the D23 showcase. The Black Panther game can easily become a hit among fans, as many players have been hoping to be able to play as King T’Challa in his own game. It is also unknown when this game will take place or whether it will be considered canon in the Marvel Universe.

It will be interesting to see whether or not these games are going to be similar to the Marvel game Square Enix made, the original Iron Man game, or if this will be entirely different. If these rumors are true, being able to become Wakanda’s next hero as Black Panther will be a dream come true for many players. Though it is not an official announcement, Marvel fans can hopefully look forward to seeing their favorite characters star in their own EA game sometime soon.
