With its WWII setting, we’re sure that we’ll see plenty of Hydra throughout this title. “We’re so grateful for all the enthusiasm and support we’ve received from fans, and we’re thrilled to finally unveil a first glimpse of the game during this year’s D23 Expo,” president of Skydance New Media Amy Hennig said. “Marvel has been an incredible partner throughout the creative process as we develop an original story and build an exciting new team of characters. We hope fans are intrigued by this sneak peek, and we’re excited to share more down the road.”During a chat a little later on in the video above, Hennig discussed the main pillars that Skydance is following for this untitled game. It’ll be a story-driven and character-driven action-adventure game, “rich in its cinematic presentation,” and offering best-class visual fidelity. Hennig’s studio is also building the game to be “inviting and welcoming to everybody,” “We want everybody to feel like they can experience this so they can put themselves in the shoes of these heroes,” Hennig said. “The controls are simple, contextual, intuitive, but also deep for long-time gamers and people who have never touched a game before.”Platform information and a release window are yet to be revealed, but hopefully it won’t be too much longer until we hear more. Skydance New Media was formed in 2019 and during the chat above, Marc Bernardin mentioned that the writers “happily signed into the Zooms [calls] every day for years and years and years,” which suggests the game has been in the works since the studio’s founding. If this news has got you in the mood for some superhero shenanigans, both Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy are available on Xbox Game Pass. What do you make of this news?
