EA announced its much-awaited partnership with Marvel a while ago. This led EA’s Motive studio to start working on a brand-new Iron Man game. EA announced this game with a very short teaser. Ever since that point, there has been no more news on this game whatsoever.

Fans were pretty curious about it, but Motive Studio’s track record has given them some relief. Now a recent leak is suggesting something very unusual for a game produced by Electronic Arts.

EA’s Iron Man game is being developed using Unreal Engine 5!
