Throughout this weekend, disney will celebrate its new edition of the D23, an event that allows him to take stock of many projects, whether in the cinema, for his amusement parks, or even his programs on Disney +. But this year, the D23 will be special since for the very first time, a conference allocated only to video games will be on the program, the Disney & Marvel Games Showcase.
Since this is a first, difficult to know if Disney has pulled out all the stops, or if this conference will only focus on projects that are coming soon, and not the blockbusters that everyone is impatiently waiting for. Since Disney has partnerships with a lot of publishers, one can imagine it’s hard to get all the announcements in one place, but who knows. Here’s where and how to watch this Disney & Marvel Games Showcase, and what to expect.
games confirmed
Disney has shared a first program for this conference, which is however not exhaustive. Inside, we learn that we should see again LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which will likely feature new DLCs. We also know that Disney Dreamlight Valley Where Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be part of it. The first has just been released in early access, and the second could give us its new release date after its recent postponement.
The only other confirmed game is that of Skydance New Mediaa new studio headed by Amy Hennig, who has long worked on the saga Uncharted. All we know about this game is that it’s about from a AAA Marvel adventure gameand the description of the latter suggests that it could highlight several characters from this universe.
There have been plenty of rumors about a Fantastic Four game, while the latest rumor from the hallway confirmed by Eurogamer seems to indicate a Captain America and Black Panther game, which would take place during the Second World War. We obviously take everything with a grain of salt while waiting to find out this evening.
Our expectations
Disney also clarified that never-before-seen announcements were to be expected, but did not mention potential returns. So we don’t know if we should leave out Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, despite rumors that indicated an imminent gameplay presentation. It must be said that it is hard to see Sony depriving itself of such a cartridge for its PlayStation Showcase, but since it is still not announced, who knows. Same thing for Marvel’s Wolverine Besides.
We would also like to see Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, even if there too, we do not have too many illusions. Unless the game is released during the first quarter of 2023, of course. The timing would be ideal to present it in more detail.
Same thing for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which we saw during the teaser of this conference. Since the Ubisoft Forward will take place the next day, Ubisoft could tease the return of the game here and give us an appointment for its Ubisoft Forward, or even completely drop a full announcement here to have more presentation time for its other games. afterwards.
For the rest, we have many rumors about an Iron Man game, or a Black Panther open-world, but keep in mind that it is unlikely that we will see all the games listed above at the conference tonight, except in case of big surprises (and we cross our fingers). There is no doubt that mobile games will also certainly have a place in this show.
Where to watch the Disney & Marvel Games Showcase conference?
This Disney & Marvel Games Showcase will therefore be to follow this evening, Friday September 9, at 10 p.m. (French time). It will be broadcast on several platforms:
