Marvel fans were reluctant to get too carried away last week after leaked unfinished gameplay footage of Marvel’s Iron Man was seen across various online communities. Now, though, EA subsidiary Motive Studio has admitted that the footage is authentic. Glorious. The acknowledgment means fans now have their first verified look at a title that has been in development without a public reveal. It also signals that a proper announcement is now being planned on Motive's own timeline.
Over the weekend, the official Marvel's Iron Man account on X posted a single image alongside the message: "Well, that didn't go as planned. But now you know, and we've got a lot more to show you. See you when we're ready." They had no real choice but to address the situation head-on and admit the fact. The alternative options were to get embroiled in what could have been a messy legal takedown notice or make a denial that clearly wasn’t true.
