Disney promised a first look at the game during its showcase later today.
It’s been almost a year since it was first revealed that Amy Hennig was working on a Marvel game. Later today, Disney confirmed that fans will get their first look at what this game really is. will take place during World War II.
The slightly-ahead potential reveal comes courtesy of MCU Status (via Eurogamer). The leak claims that Cap’ and Black Panther will join forces to take on Hydra, and they will do so in the 1940s during World War II. The ingredients for a fairly unique Marvel game are accurate, and fans are sure to find out later today at Disney’s Games Showcase.
It was revealed last October that Hennig’s new studio, Skydance Media, was working with Marvel on a brand new game. However, so far exactly what this game will include and what corners of the Marvel Universe it will draw were kept secret. Disney revealed it will be an ensemble game when it confirmed fans will get a sneak peek of it during today’s showcase.
The previous reveal that the game will feature more than one hero lines up with today’s team-up rumors between Captain America and Black Panther. That Black Panther could be a key hero in the game is quite surprising. EA is rumored to be working on its own Marvel game with Black Panther as its focus. Both games can exist at the same time, of course, especially since Hennig’s project seems to be much further along than EA’s.
Disney has hinted at a number of other projects that will be shown tonight. Dreamlight Valley since it launched this week, and also news on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Midnight Suns will also make an appearance after its delay, and it seems likely that Spider-Man 2 could appear on the anniversary of its reveal.
