While the Marvel Cinematic Universe may have lost some of its charm in recent times, fans got to see the release of the much-anticipated Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 last year. Additionally, 2023 proved to be a good year for Marvel game fans, as Marvel Snap was also released, which emerged as one of the top titles in the mobile gaming segment.
Marvel fans had a wonderful year last year, but there is much more excitement in store for them with a ton of games in the works including a World War 2-themed game coming next year and beyond. Marvel fans will get to experience some of their most beloved characters in the form of these games. Below is a list of all the upcoming Marvel games players can expect to see in 2025 or even beyond.
Venom: Lethal Protector
Following the enormous success of Spider-Man 2, Insomniac Games is developing a spin-off game with Venom as the main character. Fans first got to know about the game during the infamous leak at Insomniac Games last year. Venom: Lethal Protector is presently in development and players can expect to get their hands on the game soon.
The leaked documents claim that the main character in the game will be a playable Venom who can be switched out with the “Spider-Heroes.” There are rumors that the developers will take a unique approach to this video game’s plot. Industry insiders speculate that fans may see firsthand the symbiote’s ferocity and destructive power as it transforms the main character into Venom.
Since the game is set in the Spider-Man universe, there’s a possibility players will encounter Spider-Man for some big boss battles.
Expected released date: 2025
1943: Rise of Hydra
The forthcoming action-adventure video game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is based on Black Panther and Captain America from Marvel Comics. It is positioned against a unique story that draws from mythology found in comic books and different media adaptations.
The game’s plot centers on American super-soldier Steve Rogers’ uneasy cooperation with Wakanda’s king, Black Panther, in an effort to stop the growth of the criminal organization Hydra. Black Panther in this game won’t be T’Challa’s grandfather, and the story will take players to Paris during World War II.
Expected released date: 2025
Iron Man
Despite Iron Man ruling the superhero scene for so long, Tony Stark’s fans never had a stand-alone game where they could don his Iron Man Suit and fight the bad guys. However, things might change soon as fans might see a stand-alone Iron Man game come out soon. The game will be developed by Electronic Arts and Motive Studios, where the latter is known for the Dead Space Remake.
Fans are still waiting for a gameplay or cinematic video, but in the meanwhile, EA teased them with a silhouette of the Iron Man suit, beautifully produced in Unreal Engine 5. EA’s description of the game states that it will have an original tale that draws from Iron Man’s rich past, channeling Tony Stark’s nuance, charisma, and creative creativity to give players a true sense of what it’s like to play as Iron Man.
Expected released date: 2025
Wolverine
With a probable release date soon, Wolverine will be the next addition to this fantastic lineup of planned Marvel video games. Wolverine, the game developed by Insomniac Games, may at last enable fans to engage with the universe of Marvel’s mutant superheroes.
Following a significant data breach at Insomniac Games, which exposed game development footage, fans got a good indication of what to anticipate from the game.
Assuming the role of Logan, players will be able to use his recognizable Adamantium claws to defeat adversaries and take down bosses. Using his recognizable yellow-black costume, Logan will demonstrate his amazing parkour, combat, and stealth skills in the game.
Expected released date: 2025/2026
Blade
Arkane Lyon recently revealed this game as their upcoming project at The Game Awards. For those who don’t know, Blade is a Marvel Comics superhero who combines vampire and human elements. He possesses superhuman qualities due to his special composition, including increased strength, endurance, and quick recovery. Blade’s mission in the video game is to eliminate the undead while he’s stuck in a terrible pandemic-affected area of Paris.
Blade will be a third-person video game. Although the platform for the game has not yet been disclosed, given that Microsoft owns Bethesda Softworks, it is safe to assume that it will only be accessible on Xbox and PC.
Expected released date: 2025
Black Panther
If all goes according to plan, Cliffhanger Games, an Electronic Arts company, may release Black Panther as a stand-alone game soon. However, not much information is available about the game, which was first unveiled in July 2023.
Kevin Stephens, the head of Cliffhanger Games previously stated, “our mission is to develop an epic world for players who love Black Panther and want to explore the world of Wakanda as much as we do.”
Fans of Wakanda can expect an original storyline that connects to all they know about the superhero in this single-player, third-person video game. Additionally, EA assures that the game will have a comprehensive Wakanda universe showcasing all of the key characters and the region’s cutting-edge technologies.
Expected released date: 2025
Rivals
Marvel’s Rivals, unlike the other games on the list, will only be available on PC. It is a hero shooter game with a multiplayer emphasis, similar to games such as Overwatch. Players will be able to see their heroes while playing in the third person and this is what makes this game unique.
In the game, teams of six players will compete against one another in matches on a variety of game styles and settings, including King of the Hill and Escort. At debut, the game will have more than a dozen heroes, and more will be introduced later.
Expected released date: 2025/2026
