Marvel fans surprised as first-ever original MCU video game appears online

The MCU continues to expand

There’s no shortage of Marvel video games on the way.

This year will bring us Marvel Rivals, followed by Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra in 2025.

Motive is working on an Iron Man game, Cliffhanger on a Black Panther game, while Arkane Lyon is developing Marvel’s Blade.

Of course, I can’t forget Insomniac. The studio is hard at work on Marvel’s Wolverine but presumably Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is in the works too, if not DLC for the second game.

Alongside all of this, it sounds as if we could soon get a brand new direct MCU video game tie-in after such a game was teased online.

Take a look at the impressive trailer for the aforementioned Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra below.

This particular leak comes courtesy of Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez who was detailing Marvel’s new structure.

“So Studios [is] movies. Television [equals] shows that tie in and affect the course of the MCU,” they began.

“Spotlight [is] MCU adjacent shows with little to no tie into the MCU. Animation [is] free for all, and we already got an MCU adjacent video game in development. Interesting.”

No such game has yet been announced so I would urge you to take this leak with a pinch of salt.

Of course, fans are hard at work theorising what the project could be.

The dominant theory is that it could be a live service title. Yes, DC’s Suicide Squad: KIll The Justice League was a total flop but if done right, live service games are a lucrative source.

Personally, I’d love to see a single-player narrative-driven RPG, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

The concern is around just how closely such a game might tie into the MCU.

Not all those who enjoy MCU films and TV shows will also game. You don’t want to lock important plot points behind a video game with that in mind.

Whatever happens, it’s clear that the MCU will continue to expand. I just hope we can keep up.
