The current strategy of Marvel vis-à-vis video games is to entrust its licenses to various partner studios. Which could have led to big hits like Marvel’s Spider-Man as well as lesser-loved titles like Marvel’s Avengers. While Marvel Games has just released Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy in partnership with Square Enix, the Disney subsidiary is already looking to the future. And in this future is a new title led by the creator of one of the biggest licenses of PlayStation.
Skydance New Media, the studio run by Amy Hennig, just announced the development of a new Marvel AAA game. According to the official press release revealing this project, this is about a blockbuster Action-Adventure game. Amy Hennig obliges, the narration will be at the heart of the project.
