What to expect for this Marvel conference? The American giant has already confirmed a big piece of information: there will not only be the universe of comics put forward. Disney and Star Wars games will also be there. A few titles have already been confirmed while others are rumored. A brief overview of all the announcements, both official and potential.
Confirmed games from the Marvel & Disney conference
Disney and Marvel are particularly expected at the turn of this first conference. If the publishers keep a few surprises in store, part of the program is already known. There will be free-to-play, AAA, Star Wars, Marvel and Disney. Starting with Mickey’s Animal Crossing-like: Disney Dreamlight Valley. Released in early access, paid or free via the Xbox Game Pass, the title should be shown in a new seduction campaign to surf on the hype of the D23. In the titles already available, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will also be invited to our galaxy, most certainly to reveal yet another DLC, potentially related to Obi-Wan or Andor.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns will also have its moment of glory at the event. The tactical RPG from developers XCOM was recently pushed back to 2023 and shows up regularly in promotional videos. The editor should finally show some concrete gameplay to present its mechanics in more detail. The headliner of this conference, however, is Amy Hennig’s Marvel game. In addition to a Star Wars adaptation, the creator of Uncharted is preparing a particularly ambitious title. We don’t have any information about him yet. But which heroes would be highlighted? Rumors are rife between Daredevil, the Fantastic Four and most recently Captain America and Black Panther against the Nazis. Which is the correct one ? Response Friday evening.
