Iron Man game details leaked by EA as Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra delayed
A major Marvel title has been delayed to next year, as details emerge around EA's upcoming Iron Man game via a job listing.
It's easy to forget about the huge number of Marvel games in development, as there are so few tangible details about any of them.
Beyond Insomniac's Wolverine, we have a standalone Black Panther game from Cliffhanger Games, an Iron Man title from EA Motive, Arkane Lyon's Blade, throwback brawler Marvel Cosmic Invasion, and Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra from Uncharted director Amy Hennig.
While the latter was due to be released later this year, developer Skydance New Media has announced it has now been delayed to early 2026.
'Taking this additional time will allow us to add more polish, and make sure we give you the best possible experience, and one that lives up to our vision,' read the brief statement from Skydance Games. 'We have some exciting things in store and look forward to sharing more soon!'
A trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra was released last year. The action game will revolve around four heroes, namely Captain America, Black Panther, Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones, and Wakandan leader Nanali, in an original story.
Considering we haven't seen any gameplay from the project yet, the delay isn't exactly surprising. A 2026 launch could benefit the game timing wise too, as it might get a bump from the release of crossover film Avengers: Doomsday in May next year.
However, that does start to stray perilously close to the release date of GTA 6, which is currently set for May 26.
Beyond Marvel: 1943: Rise Of Hydra, a job listing for EA Motive's Iron Man has outed new details about the single-player action game.
As noted in the level designer advert, EA Motive is looking for someone who can 'design and build major single-player levels, within the project's creative constraints'. More Trending
While it isn't stated explicitly, this description suggests the game could be level-based. However, a prior job listing on the same game described it as an 'open world action adventure AAA title', so it's unclear if plans have changed, or if it's simply referring to levels within the open world.
The listing also calls for 'experience in single-player action RPG games', which is the first mention we've had of any role-playing mechanics (even if it will likely just mean some sort of skill tree.
Development on Iron Man is being led by Olivier Proulx, who previously worked on the acclaimed Guardians Of The Galaxy game for Square Enix. No footage has been shown, yet but the studio apparently hit a 'major internal milestone' on the project last year.
With so many unknowns, we could hear more about both projects at Summer Game Fest on June 6, 2025. However, EA Motive is also working on the next Battlefield, which is set to launch before March 2026, so any news about Iron Man might be held back till after that.

Inside Hugh Jackman's new relationship after Deborra-lee 'betrayal' statement
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' split has taken an unexpected turn with the Waiting actor opening up on her experience with 'betrayal.' The Wolverine star, 56, and his ex-wife, 69, announced their separation in September 2023, which appeared to be amicable. But Deborra has since seemingly hinted at adultery playing a part in their shock split, releasing a statement talking about 'betrayal' amid the breakdown of her 27-year marriage. An insider told MailOnline that Hugh was 'extremely disappointed' to read Deborra's statement just days after she filed for divorce. Since their split, Hugh has moved on with another actor, with reports suggesting they are set to move in together. Hugh confirmed he was dating Broadway star Sutton Foster 16 months after splitting from Deborra. Just days prior to the announcement, the X-Men icon was spotted watching the 50-year-old actor on stage in Once Upon a Mattress in Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre. Their budding romance comes just months after Sutton filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024. It is thought that Hugh and Sutton first met after starring in the Broadway show The Music Man together in 2022. The pair both praised each other after starring together, with Sutton telling People in June 2024: 'He's one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar. I think everyone already knows that, though.' During a joint appearance with Sutton on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2022, Hugh also gushed: 'This is a six-time Tony nominee, two-time winner. Like, I saw her do Thoroughly Modern Millie when you were like 4 years old. But I've watched everything she's done. It's amazing.' Sutton is best known as a Broadway actor who made her stage debut in 1996 in Grease as Sandy Dumbrowski. She has since had roles in Shrek the Musical, Anything Goes, and Thoroughly Modern Millie, which earned her her first Tony Award. Sutton has also made the move into the world of film and TV with roles in The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, and Younger. Like her ex-husband, Deborra is an actor who began her career in an unlikely fashion. She first got a job as an assistant to the news director at Channel 9 in Australia before being asked to work on the daytime current affairs programme No Man's Land. She first performed on the stage after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in the 80s before landing her first movie role in Shame in 1998. She went on to star in the likes of TV miniseries Stark and Michael Rymer's Angel Baby before landing the title role in the TV series Correlli in 1995. Hugh and Deborra-Lee first met on the set of Correlli and instantly became inseparable, with the Wolverine actor getting down on one knee just months later. Neither Hugh nor Deborra has publicly announced why the couple has split, but the latter recently hinted at infidelity in their relationship. Deborra spoke about 'navigating betrayal' in a statement released on May 28, just days after filing for divorce. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she began. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She then specifically spoke about her 27-year marriage to Hugh, saying: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. 'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom. She then added 'that none of this is personal,' and said: 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognise and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful,' she concluded her statement to MailOnline. Hugh has since responded to the statement, with an insider saying he was 'extremely disappointed.' 'Hugh was extremely disappointed after reading what his ex had said,' an insider told MailOnline. 'There was no stipulation that she could not address this, but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press.' The insider suggested that Deborra 'got around' this agreement and added that Hugh 'caved' to her divorce requests. 'She got around this by not naming him – instead focusing on how she felt. 'Hugh knows that he cannot change anything, and it is unfortunate that Deb feels the way she did given the fact that he caved in to all of her divorce requests.' Announcing their separation in September 2023, the couple was amicable. 'We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' their joint statement to People at the time read. 'Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.' More Trending 'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. 'We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.' Hugh and Deborra share two adopted children named Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19. Metro has reached out to representatives for Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman for comment. Got a story?

Review: Mike Lovatt's Brass Pack: 'Perth Festival breaks new ground'
Perth Concert Hall PERFORMANCES by youngsters from across Perth and Kinross are always a thread running through Perth Festival of the Arts, but this may have been the first time they have featured in the event's closing concert. The young musicians topped and tailed a festival debut by trumpeter Mike Lovatt's Brass Pack, adding some Marvel and Pixar movie modernity to a programme that majored on Hollywood's earlier Golden Age. Anyone who expected the Brass Pack Cubs opening performance of The Avengers Theme to evoke images of Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg as John Steed and Emma Peel was living in the past. The nostalgia-fest came later, when Lovatt's unusually-configured ensemble took the stage and he and arranger and conductor Colin Skinner – and later vocalist Anne-Jane Casey – guided us through a programme that included music from My Fair Lady, Kiss Me Kate, Funny Girl and Chinatown amongst others. Informative though their words were, there were possibly rather more of them than the evening really required, even if the concept of Lovatt's band does need some explanation. Derived from a 1958 recording by Billy May, arranger of classic sessions for Frank Sinatra, it eschews saxophones in favour of French horns, tubas and a harp. Skinner – paradoxically a saxophonist himself – has mastered May's musical language with superb versions of Bidin' My Time, Young At Heart and (Love Is) The Tender Trap. Read more Those individual numbers were more successful than the medleys. In the set's opening Hollywood Overture, the scratch horn section, led by the BBC SSO's Lauren Reeve Rawlings, was not the only part of the band that took a while to get its intonation set, and the later John Williams tribute only showcased the Brass Pack's unique sound when it reached the Indiana Jones theme. Casey, for all her seasoned stage confidence, had a couple of lyrical slip-ups too, but dependably hit her stride for Don't Rain on My Parade. The fruit of workshops earlier in the day was the Pixar music, with Randy Newman's Toy Story hit You've Got A Friend In Me at its heart, bringing the professionals and the brass-playing school-pupils together at the evening's end. This was new ground for Lovatt and his team but clearly a direction they relish, and another indication that Perth Festival is heading confidently into the future.

Why is nobody talking about the PS5 anymore? - Reader's Feature
A reader worries that Sony's strange behaviour over the last few years has seen the PS5 become sidelined and ignored compared to other formats. For years now, I've been reading people, both here and elsewhere online, asking what has happened to Sony and why they're acting the way they do now. The lack of showcases, the general lack of communication, the obsession with live service games, and the reduction in new single-player games… it's obvious to everyone and yet we've never had an explanation or an acknowledgement from Sony that anything unusual is happening. I think it's pretty obvious that we're not going to get one either. Sony are just going to carry on being weird and pretending that's what they were always like. They've been like this for well over two years now, so anyone buying a PlayStation 5 in that time will never know anything else. There is a problem though – well there's multiple, obviously – but the thing I can't help but notice at the moment is how little people talk about the PlayStation 5 anymore. The Switch 2 is eating up a lot of bandwidth right now but it's not just that. The PlayStation 5 feels played out, a disappointment and unexciting, just part of the gaming furniture and nothing more. The Switch 2 launch is coming up, but people have been talking excitedly about it for months now. A new console is obviously a rare thing, that's always going to draw attention, but the PC as a gaming format has also been a big topic for the last year or so. It's far more popular than I have ever known and now seems to be the default format for games, rather than any console. That's the position the PlayStation 5 should have but it's not really how it's turned out. You could argue even the Xbox has been more a topic of conversation recently, even if that's in a negative way. But at least people don't forget it exists. It looks like we probably won't get a PlayStation showcase this month, since they've already missed their usual May slot, and the rumours say maybe not one until September. That's ridiculous. Not only do we know virtually nothing about Ghost Of Yōtei, but there's nothing confirmed for next year yet, except Saros (had to look up that spelling). Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and Marvel's Wolverine don't have any year confirmed yet and that's all we know about in terms of games made by Sony themselves. I'm not going to speculate on why this is happening or when it might end, because frankly I haven't got a clue, but I do know that it's having a very negative effect on PlayStation's reputation, in a way people aren't talking about enough. The PlayStation 5 just seems invisible now, something that's always there but which nobody cares about and definitely something nobody is excited about. Will this change if they announce a new game? Well, it didn't with Ghost Of Yōtei. You could say that's not really their biggest franchise, and you'd be right, but the longer Sony carries on in zombie mode the harder it is going to be to get anyone's attention. It won't be long before it needs The Last Of Us Part 3 or God Of War 3 before there's any kind of a reaction, but I don't see those games happening anytime soon. Sony is so out of touch they think fans will wait forever for whatever news they can be bothered to tell us, and then we'll be amazed and excited, but I don't think that's true anymore. More Trending The PlayStation 6 seems to be only a year away and the sad thing is that means the PlayStation 5 is just going to fade away, forgotten and underused. How can a console be this successful and yet be such an utter failure and disappointment at the same time? I wouldn't have thought it possible and yet here we are.
