## Key points

- EA confirmed the leaked Iron Man footage is genuine.
- The video shows unfinished flight, combat and customisation.
- Motive’s Iron Man game remains in development.

## Summary

EA has confirmed that leaked footage of Motive’s Iron Man game is genuine, acknowledging the unauthorised release with a light-hearted comment that it “didn’t go as planned”. The leak offers the clearest public look yet at the single-player title, announced in 2022, but EA has not provided a release date or indicated when it will show the game officially.

The roughly two-and-a-half-minute work-in-progress video shows Tony Stark flying through what appears to be New York, fighting both on foot and in the air, and visiting a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. It includes unfinished graphics, weapons, melee combat and apparent suit customisation, while labels such as “Aug26 Test” and placeholder release information underline that the footage is not final; the game remains in development despite EA cancelling its Black Panther project last year.
