EA Motive Reacts After Marvel’s Iron Man Footage Leaked

Well, it looks like EA Motive was not quite ready to show us Marvel’s Iron Man yet. More than two and a half minutes of footage from the studio’s upcoming Iron Man game appeared online yesterday, and let’s just say that everyone has been sharing it and talking about it. Hard for the studio to just ignore it at this point, and even if the footage is clearly from an unfinished build, there is already quite a lot to see.

Flying, Combat, and More

There are multiple bits of footage, including one with Tony Stark taking off into the sky, using Iron Man’s jet boots to fly around what appears to be Chicago, but that is not something we can confirm. The flying is probably the most interesting part of the leak. Iron Man can rapidly accelerate through the city, hover in place, and change direction in a way that looks surprisingly fluid.

🚨 An apparent work-in-progress trailer for EA Motive’s Marvel’s Iron Man has leaked online. Reports describe high-speed flight through New York City, suit customisation, combat, Pepper Potts and James Rhodes.

The unfinished graphics should not be judged. An Iron Man game will…

And if it looks familiar, there is a pretty good reason. The flight system appears to share some similarities with Anthem that had a good jet-powered traversal mechanic. Considering how well that system worked in Anthem, borrowing some of those ideas for an Iron Man game makes a lot of sense.

We also have footage of combat, with Tony smashing enemies into the ground, throwing them around and using the suit’s various weapons. There are missiles, lasers and attacks that can be performed when he is hovering in the air, suggesting that combat is not going to be limited to simply flying around and punching things.

We also get a detailed look at Tony Stark himself since we see him suit up, and it looks pretty cool. Does not seem to be the model of RDJ sadly though.

You can probably notice that this is clearly not a finished build. There is a lot the team has to work on before the game is ready to be released, but it is still a nice first look, and it definitely hyped up a ton of players! A lot of sections still contain placeholder assets, some of the cutscenes look unfinished, the footage itself is also watermarked “AUG26 TEST”, and that means this is a development build and not anything close to a final version of the game.

And apparently, the studio was not particularly thrilled about us seeing it this early, but they did take it with humor.

EA Motive Has Already Reacted

They could not really ignore the footage, so EA Motive just acknowledged what happened. The studio posted a funny response:

“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..”

Let’s be honest, that is probably about as good a response to a leak as you can get. EA Motive clearly was not planning to show this footage yet, but instead of pretending it does not exist, they essentially acknowledged that fans have now seen it, and they simply made it clear that there is plenty more to come once they are ready to show it off properly.

Now we just have to wait until EA Motive is ready to show us the real thing!
