Skydance N๊ew Media, which was launched by Hennig and Electronic Arts veteran Beak, will be making its debut with this new title.

“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said Hennig in . “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.”
