Fans of Marvel games had a solid year in 2023, with games like Marvel Snap growing into one of the mobile space's biggest titles and Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 serving as an excellent entry in a beloved franchise. The future looks even brighter for Marvel fans since a lot more games based on Marvel franchises are in development, and 2024 could be the year that many of these projects get officially revealed. As such, 2024 might be light on releases for Marvel games, but could end up being just as exciting if some of the titles in development give fans substantial updates.

The elephant in the room when it comes to information on upcoming Marvel games is the recent leak Insomniac suffered after a cyberattack, which revealed sensitive information about its employees and upcoming projects. While the information within this leak is not set in stone, Insomniac has stated that it is committed to continuing development as expected on titles like Marvel's Wolverine. Because of this leak, the waters surrounding potential 2024 news and releases from the developer have been muddied, leaving room for some speculation as to what players can expect from them in the next year.

Even After The Leak, We Likely Haven't Seen All of Insomniac's Marvel Plans

Insomniac Games has a ton of Marvel games planned for the next decade, but there are likely even more plans within Marvel yet to be revealed.

All Marvel Games Reportedly in Development

DLC for Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 is Up in the Air

The Flame side quest in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 heavily teased a future story involving Carnage as a major threat players will have to face, and many fans assumed Spider-Man 2 would receive an expansion similar to The City That Never Sleeps DLC the first game got, with Carnage being the main villain of its plot. However, the Insomniac leak instead includes details about a standalone Venom game in the works that would feature Carnage as its villain. These leaks also suggest Insomniac has plans for a few free DLC packs for Spider-Man 2, but it's unclear if these are still in the works.

More Information Will Likely Be Revealed About Marvel’s Wolverine and Marvel’s Blade

Marvel's Wolverine

Arguably the title that was the biggest victim of the Insomniac leaks was Marvel's Wolverine, who saw in-development gameplay footage, a plot synopsis, and even a playable build released as a part of the cyberattack. However, with Insomniac resolved to continue its development as planned, it's possible fans could expect to see some official gameplay revealed in 2024, even if it isn't slated for release until 2026 as the leak suggests. The leaked gameplay footage was supposedly from a build in development a few years ago, so it's likely gameplay will look quite different if officially shown this year.

Marvel's Blade

One of the biggest surprises to come out of the Game Awards 2023 was the reveal of Marvel's Blade from Arkane Studios. While not much was shown about this title beyond a brief teaser that introduced players to the style and setting of the game, more about the title could be revealed over the next year. Without a clear release date, or even release window, it's hard to predict how much of the game will be ready to be shown in 2024, but the quality of the cinematic trailer shown at the Game Awards is a good sign that fans could see more details about Marvel's Blade emerge sometime this year.

Marvel Snap Will Continue to Expand its Content

Now in its second year of service, Marvel Snap has room to grow even more than it already did in 2023. Last year saw the introduction of features like Conquest Mode, Spotlight Caches, and Albums which received somewhat mixed reactions from players. As Marvel Snap continues to tune its gameplay and monetization model, players can expect the mobile title to see new and reworked features in 2024, along with monthly seasons that feature new cards, locations, and variants for players to experience in the coming year.

Other Marvel Titles in Development Could Get Official Reveals

EA Motive's Iron Man

EA's Motive Studio was in the spotlight in 2023 thanks to the success of its Dead Space remake which was released early last year. With the studio now working on an Iron Man game, there is a lot of speculation as to how mechanics from Dead Space could transfer to a game where players take on the role of Tony Stark as Iron Man. No gameplay has been shown for the game so far, and its release window is unclear, but 2024 would be the perfect year to finally unveil footage of this project for fans to get hyped for.

EA Cliffhanger's Black Panther

In addition to Motive's Iron Man title, EA has another Marvel game in the works from the newly-formed Cliffhanger Games. This title has been described as an original story told via a third-person, single-player game based on Marvel's Wakandan hero Black Panther. Similarly to EA Motive's Iron Man, not much has been revealed about this game other than these few details, so 2024 could potentially be a big year for EA if both of these studios' games are formally unveiled with reveal trailers and gameplay footage.

Skydance's Marvel Game

Among the in-development Marvel games is an untitled game from Skydance Media, led by industry veteran Amy Hennig. This title is reported to be an original story set during World War 2 and features both Captain America and a WW2-era Black Panther, focusing on a tale of Wakandan espionage. The premise of this title sounds intriguing enough to capture Marvel fans' attention, but a gameplay reveal in 2024 would go a long way toward sealing the deal for many players who may have a passing interest in this game.
