Marvel, Skydance New Media team up for the next AAA superhero game
This is Skydance New Media's first game, but this isn't Marvel or Amy Hennig's first rodeo.
Amy Hennig (President of Skydance New Media) has been working on games for decades, with some of her most notable work including being Creative Director for the first 3 Uncharted games (Naughty Dog) and a Creative Director for a Star Wars Game (EA).
It has been unconfirmed what character(s) will star in this new game; that said, they've revealed that it is an original story and an "original take" on the Marvel Universe. Players should expect the blockbuster action that made Insomniac's Spiderman games such big hits, but with more intention placed on narrative.
Amy Hennig said of the partnership:
“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game. The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery, and thrills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience. It’s an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity, and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring and to enable our players to embody these heroes that they love.”
