Upcoming Marvel Games

There are some massive upcoming Marvel games on the near horizon, and who knows what will be announced at Summer Game Fest 2023? Whether it's more news on the likes of digital card-collector Marvel Snap or one of the bigger RPG titles under its super-heroic belt, the publisher has been riding the success of Marvel's Midnight Suns and shows no sign of stopping.

This list of new Marvel games has gotten a little shorter, with one of the new games for 2023 having been cancelled – developer Niantic dropped development of Marvel: World of Heroes amid layoffs. Still, there are a few others on the near horizon, so let's recap all of the upcoming Marvel games you need to pay attention to right here.

Upcoming Marvel Games

Marvel's Spider-Man 2

Developer: Insomniac Games
Platform(s): PS5
Release Date: October 20, 2023

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated upcoming PS5 games of 2023. In development at Insomniac Games, the studio behind some of the best PS5 games released so far, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will see Peter Parker and Miles Morales team up to clean up the streets of New York City as powerful threats begin to emerge. We know that multiple villains will be in play throughout this sequel, but we only have one confirmed so far: Venom, voiced by legendary actor Tony Todd (Candyman). This year's Summer Game Fest confirmed Spider-Man 2's release date: it's coming on October 20, and we can't wait for spooky season already.

Marvel's Iron Man

Developer: Motive Studio
Platform(s): TBC
Release Date: TBC

EA has announced that it is collaborating with Marvel Games to create an "all-new single-player, third-person, action-adventure Iron Man video game." Motive Studio is leading development – that's the team behind Star Wars Squadron and the Dead Space Remake – with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy executive producer Olivier Proulx. This new EA Iron Man game entered full production in February 2023, and Motive promises that "the game will feature an original narrative that taps into the rich history of Iron Man, channeling the complexity, charisma, and creative genius of Tony Stark, and enabling players to feel what it’s like to truly play as Iron Man."

Marvel's Wolverine

Developer: Insomniac Games
Platform(s): PS5
Release Date: TBC

Marvel's Wolverine is one of the biggest PS5 exclusives on the distant horizon. And we say distant here because we know that Marvel's Wolverine is set to launch after Marvel's Spider-Man 2 – so expect a 2024 release at the absolute earliest. Honestly, we're happy to wait; it's been over a decade since the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and we've been desperately anticipating Logan's return to the world of video games ever since. Marvel's Wolverine is being developed by the team behind Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, so we're expecting a fantastically fast-paced action game with appropriately brutal combat. Let the waiting game begin!

Amy Hennig's Marvel game

Developer: Skydance Media
Platform(s): TBC
Release Date: TBC

Skydance Media is developing a narrative-driven adventure with Amy Hennig – one of the creative minds behind Naughty Dog's Uncharted series, arguably some of the best adventure games of all-time. While the new Marvel game from Skydance Media doesn't have a confirmed title just yet, we do know that it'll be set during World War 2, and will center around an ensemble cast of heroes. You'll be able to play as Steve Rodgers (still in the early years of his career as Captain America), Gabriel Jones (a member of the Howling Commandos), Black Panther (Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather), and Nanali (the leader of the Wakandan Spy Network). This mysterious upcoming Marvel game sounds like a pulpy, crime-noire adventure and we can't wait to learn more.

Black Panther

Developer: Cliffhanger Games
Platform(s): TBC
Release Date: TBC

We found out about this upcoming Marvel game in January 2023, when EA announced that it was publishing a single-player Black Panther game with new in-house studio, Cliffhanger Games. It's a solo adventure set in the world of Wakanda's kingly hero, and with the publisher promising us even "greater control" over his fate than we are used to in narrative games, this is one title worth keeping an eye on in the coming months.

Check out our pick of the best Spider-Man games while you wait for Peter's next adventure.
