Skydance New Media, a new division of Skydance Media, led by award-winning writer and director Amy Hennig, announced a collaboration with Marvel Entertainment to develop an AAA narrative-driven action-adventure game. It will feature completely original stories and present the Marvel universe.
The game will be the first game of the new AAA game studio, which is composed of Hennig and electronic arts veteran Julian Beak.
“For our first game, I can’t think of a better partner than Marvel,” Skydance New Media President Hennig said. “The Marvel Universe gathers all the action, mystery and excitement of my favorite vulgar adventure type, and it is very suitable for interactive experience.
“It is an honor to be able to tell an original story full of humanity, complexity and sense of humor, to make Marvel’s characters so enduring, and to enable our players to embody the heroes they love.”
Jay Ong, Executive Vice President and Head of Marvel Games, said: “Amy has been setting the standard for narrative adventure games for decades, and we are excited to work with Skydance’s talented and experienced new media team. “From our first We can see their ambition and vision to create innovative entertainment using their beloved Marvel IP. “
Executive Vice President and General Manager Bick said: “We are very excited to work in the Marvel Universe to produce our own rich narrative.” “Jay and his team at Marvel Games are helping us create the best experience imaginable .”
Hennig and Beak hired various developers with decades of AAA experience in the field of action and adventure games to develop this game. The studio also works with a team of creative consultants from the fields of film, television and comics.
The studio’s goal is to develop a “high-fidelity, rich interactive experience” for traditional game platforms and streaming services.
More information about Marvel games will be shared “in due course.”
Hennig is known for her role as the former creative director of the Uncharted series. She joined Skydance Media with Beak in 2019. Her works include “Battlefield: Intrepid” and “Need for Speed”. The two had previously collaborated in a Star Wars game cancelled by Visceral Games.
The latest game to be released in the Marvel Universe is Guardians of the Galaxy, which arrived this week with some good reviews.
