It’s only been a month since Motive officially announced it was working on a new Iron Man game and sources have revealed that the game has already started playtesting.

 

The blog post on EA’s website says this game marks a new long-term partnership between the company and Marvel Games, calling this Iron Man game the “first of several new games.”

 

Sources have revealed that playtesting officially starts on October 31st to November 2nd and will be EA’s “1-on-1” Playtesting at one of its studios.

 

Although these sessions are referred to as Playtesting sessions, they are feedback sessions based on what Motive has planned for the Iron Man game. This is likely to include plot points, game mechanics, gamemodes, and more.

I think this is pretty much a given at this point.

Licensed video games!  We know they will be good.

Which, imo, is one of the better character flying mechanics to this point.

I mean, I know you're being sarcastic, but we get a bunch of great licensed games nowadays.
