Rumors from August that Electronic Arts was to work on a game about Iron Man have been confirmed. The publisher reported, that Montreal-based Motive Studio - the creators of Star Wars: Squadrons and the upcoming Dead Space remake - will be responsible for this title about the adventures of Tony Stark (in partnership with Marvel Games).
The game is to be a third-person action adventure game, oriented on single player. The title is currently in pre-production. It has not revealed when and on which platforms it will be released.
The entire project is overseen by Olivier Proulx, senior producer of last year's Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (he also worked on Marvel's Avengers and Deus Ex: The Breakdown of Mankind). Here is his commentary on Marvel Games' collaboration with Motive Studio:
"We've been given the chance to create a new and unique story to call our own. Marvel is encouraging us to do something fresh. We have tremendous artistic freedom (...)."
By the way Electronic Arts has announced that it also has plans for several other Marvel-licensed games..
