Marvel fans have a lot of video games to look forward to in the future, with Marvel’s Blade, Marvel’s Wolverine, and an Iron Man game serving as three of the biggest confirmed titles so far. Information on most upcoming titles is fairly slim, although they’ve all been teased in some form or another. The fluctuating nature of game development means that some of these projects could still be years away, but fans should see some satisfaction in the near future.
Following the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man in 2018, Marvel games have experienced a resurgence. Insomniac Games followed up its first Spider-Man title with Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Spider-Man 2, while Square-Enix published Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy to mixed results. At the moment, six or more games based on Marvel superheroes are known to be in the works, coming from Arc System Works, Insomniac Games, EA, Skydance New Media, and Arkane Lyon.
Marvel Tōkon Fighting Souls
Arc System Works
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is the most recently announced Marvel game, but it will also be the first of the upcoming slate to release. A new tag team fighter from Arc System Works, PlayStation Studios, and Marvel Games, Tōkon: Fighting Souls could be the Marvel vs Capcom successor that fighting game fans have been waiting for.
Expectedly, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls features some of the most iconic heroes among its roster, but there are also a few wild card inclusions. The full list of announced combatants is as follows:
- Black Panther (Shuri)
- Carnage
- Captain America
- Danger
- Doctor Doom
- Ghost Rider
- Green Goblin
- Hulk
- Iron Man
- Magik
- Magneto
- Ms. Marvel
- Peni Parker
- Spider-Man
- Star-Lord
- Storm
- Wolverine
These characters are divided into five teams of four. Three more characters are expected to be revealed as part of the team starring Ghost Rider.
Right now, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is slated to launch on August 6, 2026. Thanks to PlayStation’s involvement, it’s only launching on PS5 and PC, so Xbox and Nintendo fans are out of luck for the foreseeable future. The base edition of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls will retail for $59.99, with Digital Deluxe and Ultimate editions upping the price to $84.99 and $99.99, respectively.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Insomniac Games
Announced at the same time as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 during 2021’s PlayStation Showcase, Marvel’s Wolverine is also being developed by Insomniac Games and released exclusively on the PlayStation 5. In 2025, it finally got a major update at the September State of Play showcase, and it’s continued to appear in gaming showcases since.
Excitingly, Insomniac has revealed that the Wolverine game will be set in the same universe as Marvel’s Spider-Man. Whether Peter Parker and Miles Morales show up in the game remains to be seen, but Wolverine is a compelling enough character to carry the experience. Either way, he won’t be alone, with trailers showing off other X-Men characters like Mystique and Omega Red. The latest showcase in a PlayStation State of Play also revealed Jean Gray teaming up with Wolverine, unleashing her telekinetic powers on enemies.
Marvel’s Wolverine sets up the potential for a Marvel’s Spider-Man game universe to rival the MCU, as long as Insomniac can continue to build on the solid foundation of the Spider-Man experiences released so far. Based on leaks, Venom and X-Men games may also be in the works. Marvel’s Wolverine is set to launch on September 15, 2026.
Marvel’s Blade
Arkane Lyon
Marvel’s Blade was revealed at the 2023 Game Awards ceremony with a teaser trailer that showed the hero getting a shave at the barber shop. After a siren goes off, he puts on his glasses, bares his fangs, and draws his blade before the title card drops.
This won’t be the first video game to star the hero, as the Wesley Snipes films received tie-in games (proper console titles for the first two and a mobile entry for the third), but it will be the first to hit the market in two decades or more by the time of its release.
Marvel’s Blade is being developed by Arkane Lyon, the studio responsible for games like Dishonored 2 and Deathloop. The Paris setting will likely feature at least some of the immersive sim touches that Arkane’s games are known for, although this outing ditches the first-person tradition for third-person action.
There’s no release date for Marvel’s Blade yet, and although the teaser boasts somewhat stylized animation that is likely to be represented in the game, no actual footage has been shown. Unfortunately, Marvel’s Blade was entirely absent from the most recent Xbox Games Showcase, which doesn’t necessarily bode well for development progress. Hopefully, the project is still moving along at a slow but steady rate.
Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra
Skydance New Media
Former Uncharted director Amy Hennig is leading a story-driven Marvel game called Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra at Skydance New Media. This game will take an ensemble cast through a story set during World War 2. Black Panther fans disappointed by the cancellation of the standalone Black Panther game can find some consolation in Marvel 1943, which promises a Wakanda setting alongside a historical Paris.
T’Challa’s ancestor Azzuri takes on the Black Panther mantle alongside Steve Rogers as Captain America, with side characters Gabriel Jones and Nanali rounding out an ensemble. It could be a compelling experience for fans interested in a pulp history diversion from the more common contemporary setting of Marvel properties.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was slated to release in 2025, but it was ultimately delayed to “early 2026.” Later in 2025, that release window was also scrapped, and as of June 2026, gameplay for the title has yet to be officially revealed.
The newly formed Paramount Games Studio has confirmed that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is still on the way. The studio’s Shawn Kittelsen explained to IGN that the team behind Marvel 1943 is relatively small and suggested that the game is unlikely to arrive in 2026, but indicated that the studio will continue to be supported in its development of the game.
Untitled Iron Man Game
Motive Studio
The Marvel Cinematic Universe films catapulted Iron Man to a position as one of the most globally recognized Marvel superheroes, and with only a couple of minor tie-in games and a VR experience so far, a major AAA venture has always seemed inevitable. EA subsidiary Motive Studio, the team behind Star Wars: Squadrons and the Dead Space remake, is working on the upcoming project under the leadership of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy producer Olivier Proulx.
The Iron Man game is set to feature an original story, and tapping into the interesting character of Tony Stark and bringing his high-tech suits to life could make for a compelling experience. While EA canceled an upcoming Black Panther game earlier in 2025, the company confirmed that the Iron Man game is still in development.
Untitled EA Marvel Games
Electronic Arts
Despite the cancellation of EA’s Black Panther game, EA isn’t hitting the brakes on Marvel games anytime soon. The company confirmed that at least three Marvel games are still in the works, so aside from Iron Man, two unknown titles are currently in development.
There’s no word yet on what superhero or team the game will follow, nor what studio under EA’s umbrella might be involved with development. Under the circumstances, it’s unlikely that this game will see release before the Iron Man game unless it goes for a smaller scale with a less central hero.
The lack of information for this and other titles might be frustrating for now, but the imminent release of Marvel Tōkon Fighting Souls and Marvel’s Wolverine, along with the overall variety of experiences in development, promises an exciting future for Marvel video games.
