But it is a particularly exciting time for gamers, who have multiple intriguing Marvel games coming at some point in the future. EA Motive’sDead Spacehas earned it all the praise it needs for anIron Mangame to be highly anticipated, for example, and Skydance’s Amy Hennig has a career in games that makes her four-protagonist WW2 epic equally exciting.
