We recently reported on a major wave of layoffs at Electronic Arts. Around 670 people have to vacate their positions in the EA cosmos, which means the company presents itself in a similar way to Microsoft or Sony. After all, there have been a huge number of layoffs here recently, recently in the case of Sony almost 1,000.
In addition to compassion for all those who are currently fearing for their existence, there is the question of the future of various studios and projects. A team that was once responsible for single-player titles in the Battlefield cosmos is about to die. In this context, what about Marvel titles like Black Panther or Iron Man?

Uncertain future of EA's Marvel games?
The EA cosmos is working on two major games for the Marvel cosmos. On the one hand there would be a single player title about Iron Man, on the other hand there would be an action adventure based on Black Panther. While Motive Studio is working on the Tony Stark game, Cliffhanger Games is responsible for Black Panther.
Gamingbolt now emphasizes a statement that EA made to Gamesindustry.biz. In a statement, the website confirmed that work on both Iron Man and Black Panther is continuing. In addition to sports games like EA Sports FC or F1, as well as cinema greats like Star Wars, Marvel is one of the top brands at EA.
Accordingly, one would think such a confirmation would come as little surprise. At the same time, a Star Wars game was recently canceled by Respawn. Accordingly, some Marvel fans will certainly be relieved. To what extent one can speak of any relief in the current situation is of course another question.
