More than an hour of gameplay footage from Avalanche Studios’ canceled Iron Man game has appeared online. The clips, totaling close to 90 minutes across multiple videos, offer the clearest look yet at a project that was never officially announced and was shut down years ago while still in development.
The footage should not be confused with the Iron Man game currently in development at EA Motive. Avalanche’s version dates back to roughly 2012 and was being built for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The studio, best known for the Just Cause series, worked on the title after being approached by Disney, but the project was ultimately canceled mid-development. Former studio head Christofer Sundberg previously confirmed its existence, citing shortened schedules, rising costs, and internal politics as factors in its termination.
The leaked material includes several extended gameplay sequences and what appears to be an E3-style demo. Iron Man is shown flying freely across large, open environments that strongly resemble the mountainous and destructible landscapes of Just Cause 2. Combat footage features the expected suite of abilities: repulsor blasts, gadgets, melee attacks, and aerial maneuvers.
One sequence depicts a full opening cinematic and startup flow, followed by a fight against a giant mech and engagements with ground troops. Other clips show aerial battles against fighter jets and helicopters. The presentation is unfinished, with visible placeholder assets and rough edges typical of an in-development build, yet the core fantasy of free-flight Iron Man combat is clearly present.
The game appears to have aimed for a blend of open-world traversal and more focused combat encounters, drawing comparisons to both earlier Iron Man titles and the traversal style Avalanche had already refined in Just Cause.
Because the game was never revealed publicly, these clips represent the first substantial look at what Avalanche had been building. The footage originated from a PlayStation 3 development kit build and spread through enthusiast communities before wider coverage followed.
The leak arrives at a time when interest in a proper Iron Man game remains high, particularly with EA Motive’s separate project still in progress. While Avalanche’s version will never be finished or released, the newly available material gives fans a concrete sense of the direction the studio was pursuing more than a decade ago.
The videos are rough and incomplete, but they capture a version of Iron Man that leaned heavily into flight, large-scale environments, and the kind of destructive sandbox Avalanche specialized in. For a canceled game that spent years as little more than a rumor, the sudden appearance of nearly 90 minutes of gameplay is a notable find.
