Matt Fraction will be lending his mind and writing hand to the project, developing a ”wholly unique” new story for Iron Man 2’s videogame.
It crosses the comic universe and the film universe, and games make players ”a co-conspirator in the narrative”, and he looks forward to the challenge. Iron Man 2 is due next spring.
”Iron Man 2 presented me with the challenge and opportunity to work with both SEGA and Marvel on creating something wholly unique - a story that exists at the cross-roads of the comic I write, the film universe which I was lucky enough to be asked to contribute to, and a wholly-immersive interactive experience like a game,” said Fraction.
”A game presents an entirely new challenge, where the audience/consumer/player engages with the world, with the big and small aspects of the place and characters. They’re a co-conspirator in the narrative. I hope it’s as exciting and challenging to play as it was to write.”
The game embraces the suit of Iron Man even more and will let us battle through epic foes in futuristic locales, not to mention smashing the place up through unfortunate collateral damage. SEGA say fan feedback has been very important to them, so controls will be much better.
Iron Man 2 is being released on Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, DS and Wii in Spring 2010.
Save our narrative Matt Fraction!
