The press release confirms that there’ll be some new announcements at the show, with new content for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and new information on Marvel’s Midnight Suns, which was recently delayed to sometime before March 2023. Additionally, there will also be a first look at the new Marvel game from Skydance New Media and former Uncharted director Amy Hennig. The game is being described as a “blockbuster action-adventure game.”
Currently, there are a large number of Marvel and Star Wars games that have been announced, though details are scarce on numerous titles. In addition to a Marvel game, Skydance New Media is also working on a Star Wars title, while other currently-announced projects include a Star Wars game from Ubisoft, Respawn and Electronic Arts’ three upcoming games including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Quantic Dreams’ Star Wars: Eclipse, and the reportedly indefinitely-delayed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake from Aspyr.
The upcoming Marvel lineup is a bit thinner, but Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios are currently working on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine, while Electronic Arts is rumored to be working on a Black Panther game.
