A Marvel Gaming Universe Was Planned But Got Scrapped Later, Ex-Devs Reveal

Expert Verified By

It Would've Been Similar to The Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Story Highlight
  • There were plans for a Marvel Gaming Universe which were later scrapped. 
  • It would’ve been similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with games tied to each other.
  • The project never got funded and hence never saw the light of the day. 

Many children have grown up watching and loving the Marvel Cinematic Universe and seeing it evolve into what it is today. Interestingly, we could’ve had a similar concept in gaming as well, but it could never see light of the day. 

According to former developers, there were plans for a Marvel Gaming Universe (MGU), that would’ve been similar to the cinematic universe but the idea was scrapped. 

Why it matters: The concept is really interesting as it meant multiple Marvel games intertwining with each other similar to what the movies have done. 

Talking to The Fourth Curtain Podcast, writer Alex Irvine revealed the plans for the Marvel Gaming Universe, which would’ve tied multiple Marvel games in a single timeline, but unfortunately as exciting as the idea is, it never became a reality. 

When I first started working on Marvel games, there was this idea that they were going to create like a Marvel gaming universe that was going to exist in the same way that the MCU

– Alex Irvine

Marvel Rivals
Marvel Gaming Universe could never see the light

For context, Irvine has worked on various Marvel projects including the highly acclaimed Marvel Rivals. He said that Marvel wanted to convert the games into a bigger ongoing story, that would’ve worked the same way as MCU. 

Host, Alex Seropian who has also worked with Disney back in day backed the claim and stated that the idea came before the MCU was a thing, but it never got funded. Irvine said it was very frustrating as they came up with great ideas for the project. 

So, Marvel games might have headed a completely different direction if that happened. Nonetheless, we still got some great games like Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel Rivals, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more on the way.
