It’s only been a month since Motive officially announced it was working on a new Iron Man game and sources have revealed that the game has already started playtesting.
The blog post on EA’s website says this game marks a new long-term partnership between the company and Marvel Games, calling this Iron Man game the “first of several new games.”
Sources have revealed that playtesting officially starts on October 31st to November 2nd and will be EA’s “1-on-1” Playtesting at one of its studios.
Although these sessions are referred to as Playtesting sessions, they are feedback sessions based on what Motive has planned for the Iron Man game. This is likely to include plot points, game mechanics, gamemodes, and more.
On the EA Playtesting website, 1-on-1 Playtesting reads:
“Get an inside look at a game/product and talk through your experience directly with an EA Researcher. They will ask you questions about your experiences, preferences, and other areas of interest. These conversations typically last between 30 and 120 minutes, and may happen online or in person at one of our Player Experience Labs.”
Following Motive’s Iron Man announcement, Patrick Klaus, Motive Studios General Manager said: “Our goal in announcing the game early is to invite developers who are just as passionate about Marvel as we are to consider joining Motive. It’s also because we will want to engage with the community of players in due course.”
It’s not officially been stated how long Motive’s Iron Man game has been in development but playtests this early on from its announcement suggest it’s been in pre-production for some time.
