Iron Man Open-World Game Was Canceled by Disney

August 17, 2022 by Faith Lane

Iron Man won’t be getting the Spider-Man treatment.

Disney canceled an open-world Iron Man game that had been in the works for years by the creator of Just Cause, Swedish developer Avalanche Studios. This news was revealed after the studio founder, Christofer Sundberg, did a new interview with MinnMax. Sundberg hasn’t been a part of Avalanche since 2019 but he revealed that the game was in development for a couple of years only to get axed.

From what we know about this game, it allowed players to fly around anywhere and punch people with Iron Man’s suit, or at least, that was what they had at one point in developing the game. Sundberg said that there were many great people involved in the Iron Man game’s creation but that it was canceled for unknown reasons in 2012. Take a look below at the tweet MinnMax put out on Twitter which shows us the interview and some clips of gameplay. View the full video here.

In this clip from MinnMax's interview, Avalanche Studios co-founder Christofer Sundberg reveals for the first time that the creators of Just Cause were working on an open-world Iron Man game before Disney and Marvel canceled the game around 2012. https://t.co/Ups3MrWmE4 pic.twitter.com/ODeya496uE

As of right now, we don’t know how many years this Iron Man game was in development or why it was canceled. It is a shame that Marvel Comics fans will not get to experience what a cool game this could have been.

Furthermore, an Iron Man game was released in 2008 from SEGA alongside the Robert Downey Jr. movie which started off Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. Its release was soon followed by another SEGA game in 2010, Iron Man 2, as well as Iron Man 3 which was released in 2013 from Gameloft. Another Iron Man game that was released was an Iron Man VR game that came out in 2020, perfect for everyone in quarantine due to COVID-19.

The game would have been great–after all, it would have been an open-world Iron Man game. However, Disney and Marvel never picked it back up and we sadly might never get any more from it. Iron Man didn’t have the same luck as Spider-Man in the gaming department.

Marvel Studios Latest Game Release

If you are a fan of Marvel and Marvel Studios games, be sure to check out the latest Spider-Man game which was just released earlier this week, Spider-Man: Remastered. This game is available on Steam for PC as well as the PS5 console.

In this all-new Spider-Man game, you get to play as a brand new Peter Parker that is struggling to balance his normal teenage boy life and his superhero life fighting crime on the streets of New York City as our favorite web-slinger. You will now be carrying the weight of the city on your own shoulders as you take on the whole of Peter Parker and Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Remastered. The game also has a DLC where you will get three chapters to play called Marvel’s Spider-Man: The City Never Sleeps adventure. If that wasn’t enough for your comic book-loving heart, you can also play as many beloved characters like Mary Jane Watson, Kingpin, and more. Not to mention, you can also play as the comic-book creator himself, Stan Lee. Yes, Stan Lee can swing from webs just like our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
