Marvel Games and Skydance New Media announce partnership for ‘narrative-driven, blockbuster action adventure game’

Skydance New Media, the new AAA interactive division of Skydance Media helmed by Uncharted series writer Amy Hennig, has announced a partnership with Marvel Entertainment to develop a narrative-driven, blockbuster action adventure game featuring an original story and take on the Marvel universe.

“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said Skydance New Media president Amy Hennig in a press release. “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.”

Marvel Games executive vice president and head Jay Ong added, “Amy has been setting the bar for narrative adventure games for decades and we are happy to be collaborating with the talented and experienced New Media team at Skydance. Their ambition and vision for making innovative entertainment using beloved Marvel IP was obvious from our first meeting. We’re excited to share more with Marvel fans when the time is right.”

Skydance New Media has assembled an “accomplished crew of developers with decades of AAA experience inaction and adventure gaming,” plus a “diverse team of creative consultants from the worlds of film, television, and comics.”
