Capcom and Marvel have been slowly revealing the rest of the game's roster leading up to the release of Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite this fall.

During this year's D23 event hosted by Disney, which covers all things under the Disney label from games to shows to movies to comics, we learned that the big mouse has some plans for the VR market and the Marvel super hero universe. It's a new project called Marvel Powers United. 
Marvel's Spider-Man may have seen a trio of cinematic adaptations in the past decade, but his video game presence has been sorely missed. That's probably why fans were so excited to learn that Insomniac Games is working on a big AAA outing for the fast-talking web-slinger. 
Marvel is stepping up the company's video game, um, game lately, and it turns out it's been taking plenty of notes on what does and does not work for the genre in recent years. According to a recent interview, it turns out the studio's been paying special attention to the DC camp, as the Arkham series has set the standard over the past decade or so. 
The Lego Group and TT Games, along with Marvel Entertainment, released the full trailer reveal for the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. Originally we had a small teaser sampling with a bit of Groot, but this time we get a heck of a lot more heroes in the fun and exciting new trailer. 
The Lego Group and Marvel Entertainment aren't done with each other. In fact, they appear to be just getting started. Following up on the widely popular LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game, the two mega companies have joined forces together again for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. 
Everyone has been wondering exactly when Insomniac's new Spider-Man will be making its way to home consoles. Well now we have a time frame on when we can expect to see the new Spider-Man game for the PS4. 
Telltale Games and Marvel Entertainment finally released the very first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series. The upcoming episodic game will release on April 18th, in just under a month's time, and they've given gamers a look at what they can expect. 
Marvel Games has a lot of plates spinning at partner development studios right now, but keeping everything moving is apparently an easier task than you might think. Despite the fact that many of these games are using popular IPs from the comics and movie space, they're not being treated as canon or held to any particular deadline. 
It looks like Marvel is going full-tilt into the video games business, partnering with publishers and developers to come out with titles about as fast as they're making movies. We learned today that one popular Marvel property is actually in line to receive not one, but two games in short order. 
When Square Enix teased that they had an exciting announcement coming this week, many folks assumed it would be related to their biggest series, Final Fantasy. Color us surprised, then, to learn that the developer has now partnered with Marvel for a multi-game deal, and it all begins with an Avengers project. 
Telltale Games has a full slate of projects under their wing, working on stuff like The Walking Dead, Tales from the Borderlands, and Game of Thrones. Well, now some leaks have potentially revealed what new Marvel project Telltale is working on.

Need something to spice up your boring, average, every day Grand Theft Auto play? You need Iron Man's Hulkbuster armor, of course. 
The good news: Telltale Games has partnered with Marvel and will be making a new game set within that universe. The bad news: It’ll be about two years before said game ever sees the light of day. Here’s hoping your super power is unwavering patience. 
It can be easy to forget that Disney now owns Marvel and Star Wars. So why is that important to video games? Because, according to a recent interview with Kingdom Hearts 3 designer and co-director, characters and worlds from both of those universes could potentially be in the upcoming next gen action adventure. 
It seems like there have been a lot of stories recently working against the concept of that “all-digital future” some companies have been touting. The most recent issue cropped up following the Deadpool game completely disappearing from digital store fronts like a kid flicking a booger from their nose. |
