Dead Space studio EA Motive has issued a development update for its upcoming Iron Man game, confirming the project is making "excellent progress" as production continues. General manager Patrick Klaus said the developer hit a "major internal milestone" earlier this year that laid "a robust foundation for the journey ahead". While it sounds like the project is still a few years away from release, it remains an "important priority" at EA Motive.
The reassurance comes after news the team will be setting up a second studio to help development of the Battlefield series, with EA Motive lending its expertise on the Frostbite engine to future multiplayer and single player games. The latest entry, Battlefield 2042, is having its post-launch support ended so main studio EA DICE can focus on upcoming projects.
Klaus said: "The directors who delivered our Dead Space remake in 2023, Philippe Ducharme (Executive Producer) and Roman Campos-Oriola (Creative Director), will build a team at Motive to work alongside the Battlefield studios around the world creating what’s next for Battlefield — a universe across both multiplayer and single-player experiences. Their proven expertise in storytelling, immersive battles and developing on the Frostbite engine uniquely positions them to help advance the vision for Battlefield" in the future.
EA Motive is now staffing up across its art, QA, and software development sectors as it focuses on both Iron Man and Battlefield. What would make you want to play an Iron Man game? Offer your ideas and suggestions in the comments below.

EA seems like the logical company to be making this tbh. At least they can salvage the crap Bioware made for Anthem. Anthems flying needs work though. Needs more weight as well.
And let's hope they have a bit more adult, less toothless dialogue than the Spidey games
Very excited for this after their work on the Dead Space remake. I wonder if we’ll see any horror elements in the game, maybe something from the Demon in a bottle storyline.
Hoping they take advantage of the flight mechanics BioWare laid down and have some killer airal and ground combat systems.
Probably a second half of the console generation launch.
Hopefully it will release on ps5 and not 6
Glad EA didn't axe this and Black Panther. Just because they are 3rd person action adventure games.
The Iron Man VR was pretty neat, so I am looking forward to this, even if it's almost certainly gonna be completely different.
I’d love to play a story based shared world Iron Man co-op with large lush atmospheres, raids, and shared hubs.
They are working hard trying to figure out all the microtransaction schemes they can come up with.
@HotGoomba I loved Iron Man VR. Even platinumed it. Shame they didn’t update for PSVR2. The better texture/graphics, controls and haptics would’ve taken it to another level.
@Illyrian the funny thing is they would need approval from marvel for those
@Drago201 did you forget about the avengers game?
@Illyrian nope but there goes a point they had to get approved for all the extra characters and other stuff and that game flopped hard so there might be something different
