Back at Eidos Montreal, a small team is currently aiding Crystal Dynamics' Avengers project and, Eurogamer has heard, in the early stages of production on the second Marvel game based around Guardians of the Galaxy. This project will be lead by Eidos Montreal.

If true, I wonder if it'll be connected to the Telltale game in any way. Weird have two vastly different devs working on the same IP.

Color me hyped if this is true. And I doubt that Telltale's Guardians will be connected to Square-Enix's in terms of continuity. That'd be like asking if MvCI would be connected to the SE Avengers game.

That being said, I hope that Square-Enix stay as far away from the Bendis run as humanly possible (if this is true). I'll accept a mix of the 2008/DnA run as well as some movie stuff, but little-to-no Bendis. I'll wait for Duggan's run of Guardians to happen before I pass final judgement on that, though I was hoping that Loveness & Pérez would do GotG instead (I love their current run of Nova).

Sorry to bring bad news


There won't be another big Deus Ex game in the foreseeable future.

Square Enix's shift in focus to its recently-announced multi-game Marvel project, combined with underwhelming sales of last year's Mankind Divided, mean the Deus Ex franchise has been placed on hiatus, Eurogamer understands.

Because the movie was a huge hit & Vol. 2 will only propel the franchise to greater heights if James Gunn & Co. deliver like they did last time. They're basically household names, now.

So we are not getting a proper ending for Deus Ex anytime soon.

Very, very disappointing. :(

It's what happens when a AAA game underperforms unfortunately. If GotG sells 8 million copies we probably won't see DE return anytime soon.

If people don't flock to Prey, I could see trouble on the horizon for the immersive sim.

Yes, I wonder why Marvel are pushing their billion dollar grossing franchise (and one that has better margins than Avengers due to lower paid actors) that will shortly become a two billion dollar grossing franchise.

Is there any talk on whether all of this (Telltale's GotG, the Square Enix games, and Sony's Spider-Man) are to be part of a "MVU" (Marvel Videogame Universe) or should we expect these all to be completely separate/self-contained?

They are probably contained by publisher. Doubt think you'd see sonys spidey in the Square universe

It would be far too difficult to align different publishers under a single project or continuity - they're market competitors, and there isn't any kind of profit-sharing deal here. They're just working with IP licenses. However, it is possible that SE themselves could do an MVU starting with Avengers.

TellTale & Sony's game are each their own thing.

Square's games are all in one big MGU:

Featuring a completely original story, it will introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come.

think of it like the walking dead. that's been licensed to a few vastly different devs that have vastly different standards and gameplay. plus i'd imagine telltale have secured the comic license, not the movie one, much like the walking dead?

That's what I expected, though I do wish a shared universe would be possible. Probably way too much of an undertaking with several different publishers licensing though. But I suppose Square's games will probably be linked, and I wouldn't be surprised if Telltale made more Marvel games that shared a universe with their GotG game, so we'll see some shared worlds if not "the one" I would hope for.

If Marvel really wanted to be hands on and shape the general, overall narrative it would technically be possible, though herculean. But I think they're more concerned with quality than trying to do the MCU feat a second time but harder.

Yeah even though DE:MD is a quality title, it's just too little too late. It doesn't have the graphical sheen to it that other big games have and it came too late after the previous game, losing relevancy. I'm saddened that we won't see other original IPs from these talented guys anytime soon. I'm just so disinterested in marvel properties as games. That doesn't mean people who want these games shouldn't have them, but it's a personal disappointment. Gonna day one Prey (if it's good) just to support the immersive sim genre since it has taken a bit of a hit recently with lacklustre sales of DH2 and MD.
