EA Motive has provided a brand new update on itsIron Mangame, but fans shouldn’t expect to see it anytime soon.

In a recentblog post, Motive general manager Patrick Klaus discussed what the studio has been up to since the release of itsDead Spaceremake in January, explaining that it was a “big milestone for us” but the team has since switched its focus to itsIron Manproject.

“We’re still early in pre-production and taking our time to make sure we set the best possible foundation for development,” Klaus said. “But already, we’re finding so many opportunities to explore story, design and gameplay withIron Man, and it’s exciting to see the fantasy start coming alive.

“Even this early in the process, we’ve put in place a Community Council made up ofIron ManandMarvelfans; as withDead Space, they’ll be offering feedback on pretty much everything throughout the development process.”

Klaus added that the team has chosen Unreal Engine 5 as the engine forIron Man"in order to empower the dev team to work their magic and create something really special”.

Since the game is in early pre-production, no further development updates were provided, so fans looking forward to the superhero game will have to be patient because it could be years away.
