Marvel Games, the video games division of Marvel Entertainment, has not been pulling any punches recently. The company's new strategy to work with the "
best game companies" is already paying off big time, as Insomniac Games'
Marvel's Spider-Man is not only one of the highest reviewed games in PlayStation 4's history, but also a best-selling one with 3.3 million copies sold in its first three days.
With Square Enix's
Avengers project being developed at Crystal Dynamics (the studio behind the rebooted
Tomb Raider series), Nintendo’s
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order (being crafted by Team Ninja, the creators of the
Ninja Gaiden franchise), and a mysterious new video game from Second Dinner (founded by the original creators of Blizzard's
World of Warcraft and
Hearthstone), the future of Marvel Games is brighter than ever after years of releasing panned video game movies.
There's no denying that 2008's
Iron Man and 2010's
Iron Man 2 were some of the worst video games based on films, but many fans would love to give the Shell-Head another chance in a new game. It looks like those fans are not alone, as
Assassin's Creed: Origins Director Ashraf Ismail would not only love to see an all-new video game featuring Tony Stark, but he would even make it "
in a heartbeat."
Considering that
AC: Origins is one of the best-reviewed games of 2017 (its highest rated [Xbox One] version is currently sitting at a very impressive 85% on review aggregator Metacritic) and Ismail seems to be a pretty big
Iron Man fan himself, this potential collaboration could end up giving amazing results.
At the time of writing, Marvel Games had not revealed any plans to make a new
Iron Man video game.
