Footage from EA Motive's long-silent Iron Man game leaks online, showcasing fast flight and combat

A work-in-progress trailer for EA Motive's single-player Iron Man game has reportedly surfaced online, offering a rare glimpse at the superhero project since its initial announcement in 2022. The leaked footage, which has appeared on forums such as Resetera and Reddit, features a timestamp labeled "Aug26 test." Publications have reached out to EA representatives for comment regarding the validity of the footage.

The leaked video displays unfinished assets alongside placeholder credits humorously listing the Hulk as "world director" and Ultron as "executive producer." Even with its work-in-progress state, the footage highlights several key design elements for the upcoming third-person action-adventure game. Players are shown flying at high speeds through various locations, including New York City, a historic Japanese bamboo forest, and the deck of a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. The gameplay seamlessly transitions between aerial flight and on-foot combat, utilizing repulsors, lasers, rockets, and physical strikes.

Additionally, the leaked media showcases suit customisation features, cutting-room sequences featuring Tony Stark interacting with multiple suits, and appearances by comic book characters such as Pepper Potts and James Rhodes. The project was initially announced four years ago as part of a planned collaboration between EA and Marvel Games to develop original single-player titles. This leak follows closely behind a separate, unrelated leak from earlier in the week featuring footage from Avalanche Studios' previously canceled Iron Man project.
