Several minutes of purported gameplay footage from EA Motive's upcoming Iron Man game have surfaced online, offering a look at the title's flight mechanics and combat. The clips, initially shared on ResetEra, have not been officially verified by EA, though the publisher has been contacted for comment. The leaked footage, approximately two and a half minutes long, depicts Iron Man taking flight in a large city, seemingly Chicago, utilizing his jet boots for propulsion. The video also includes what appear to be unfinished cutscenes and combat sequences where Iron Man engages enemies with ground-based attacks and aerial maneuvers, employing missiles and lasers.
Close-ups of Tony Stark's face are visible, alongside a moment suggesting player customization options for the suit. Familiar characters such as Pepper Potts and James Rhodes (Rhodey) also make appearances. Some elements within the footage still feature placeholder assets, and a watermark indicates "AUG26 TEST," suggesting the build is a work in progress. Despite its unfinished state, the revealed gameplay highlights impressive flight sequences, potentially drawing inspiration from the traversal systems in the now-shuttered game Anthem.
EA Motive's Iron Man project was first announced in 2022. The studio has remained largely silent regarding its progress since then, a period marked by significant layoffs and project cancellations within EA, including a Black Panther game. EA Motive's recent work includes the Dead Space remake and co-development on Battlefield 6. This leak follows another recent instance of Iron Man game content surfacing online, with leaked gameplay from Avalanche Studios' unrelated 2010s Iron Man title also appearing this week.
No release date has been announced for EA Motive's Iron Man game. While the leaked trailer included a placeholder for a "Release Window," no specific timeframe was provided, leaving speculation about an imminent announcement once the official trailer is finalized.
