Today, Marvel and Skydance New Media, the new interactive division of Skydance Media, have announced a new partnership for a new, AAA game. The new title will be a narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game with a completely original story and take on the Marvel Universe. This is Skydance New Media’s first project and is being led by award-winning writer and director Amy Hennig, who formed the studio along with EA veteran Julian Break. The studio’s vision is to pioneer a new category of story-focused interactive entertainment- a groundbreaking convergence of games, film, and television.

“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said Hennig, President, Skydance New Media. “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 enable our players to embody these heroes that they love.”

“We are enormously excited to be working inside the Marvel universe to craft a rich narrative of our own,” said Beak, Executive Vice President & GM, Skydance New Media. “Jay and his team at Marvel Games are helping us make the best experiences imaginable.”
