Ever wondered how we got an “Marvel’s Avengers” game, “Marvel’s Spider-man” and a “Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy” game but the OG of the Marvel Cinematic Universe side of Marvel, Iron Man, never got an original game.
The following is the answer...And no, the picture for the article is not an official image of the game but Iron Man VR pic for content purpose.
Avalanche Studios’s Christofer Sundberg revealed in an interview with MinnMax that Avalanche Studios, the same devs that brought Just Cause, were working on an Iron Man game that got to pull the plug because Marvel and Disney got too interested on it that went on conditioned support.
Unfortunately, the condition was that Avalanche Studio needed to completely focus on the game and do a massive hiring spree, close to 70 to 90 new hires for the game’s staff.
The problem was that the deadline given was too short, too costly and probably would have destroyed the studio completely.
“At the end of a project when the team is scaling down, that’s when you have to find a new project, and with that one year of development time cut from the original plan, it would mean that I had one year less to find a new project for a big development team which would have been impossible, and hiring all those developers would have been a complete nightmare, so it was for the best.”
Reportedly, the game allowed free roaming and open world so we could just gone away flying almost limitless as a Tony Stark simulator, but no storyline or lore of the game was revealed, but if “Marvel’s” game taught us something, it is good to go on original story and not simply being an promotional game for the movies.
