Upcoming Iron Man Game Footage Leaks, EA Remains Cool: "That Didn't Go As Planned"
Unfinished gameplay footage from EA Motive's long-quiet Iron Man game leaked online on Friday, and EA just came forward and confirmed it's real. The roughly two and a half minute clip, watermarked "AUG26 TEST", spread first on ResetEra and then across Reddit and social media. The footage shows Tony Stark flying through a city, possibly Chicago, fighting enemies on the ground and in midair, and visiting what looks like a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. It's clearly early work, with rough textures and unfinished cutscenes, but the flight and combat look fairly polished for something this far from release.
