Marvel 1943 Reveals Who is Playing Black Panther, Captain America, and More

Electronic Arts recently gave fans an update on its in-development Iron Man game, assuring everyone that it is still in progress despite a recent shake-up at developer EA Motive. The past few years have seen an increase in triple-A Marvel video games like the Marvel’s Spider-Man series and the upcoming Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. EA announced a new deal to make superhero titles for the House of Ideas back in 2022. The first will be an Iron Man game from EA Motive, the studio behind the recent Dead Space remake.

Pokemon fans now know exactly where and when the 2024 Pokemon World Championships tournament will take place.

It’s April Fools’ Day, but this post is no joke: There is a lot of new TV to watch this week. In a lot of ways it’s a showdown of tense situations — “tense,” here, being used to cover things like Tom Ripley (Andrew Scott, in the new adaptation) trying to con his way into high society, American Horror Story: Delicate’s Anna (Emma Roberts) attempting to figure what’s a real haunting and what’s in her head, Mark (Steven Yeun) trying to live up to the title of Invincible while he protects his family, or Larry David (Larry David) just trying to make it through the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm alive.

With Into the Light coming next week to Bungie’s Destiny 2 for all players, it’s a good time for newcomers to visit Xur and purchase some Exotics. He’s in the Tower Hangar until the next weekly reset, with Black Talon as the Exotic weapon of the week.

It’s been a busy month for gaming enthusiasts. As last week’s Game Developers Conference wrapped up in San Francisco, PAX East kicked off for a fun weekend in Boston. We were on hand for the East Coast show, exploring the show floor to check out some upcoming games.

That’s it, guys, we made it: Time for March to go out like a lamb, as the old adage says, and spring has sprung — most notably (“most” here for if you are not the type who wants to go touch literal grass) in the form of our spring preview, which forecasts some of the best TV shows, movies, books, anime, and more coming this season.

The Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 version of Venom is crawling into the comics in this year’s Venomverse Reborn event, just a few months after menacing gamers on the PlayStation 5. Even before Spider-Man 2 launched back in October, Venom’s presence in the Insomniac universe was strongly felt and hinted at. In the Marvel’s Spider-Man post-credits scene, it is revealed that Norman Osborn has been keeping his terminally ill son Harry suspended in a tank in his penthouse, with an all-too-familiar-looking black substance floating alongside him. Come Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Norman orders Harry to be released, despite the protests of Dr. Curtis Conners.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been announced by Skydance New Media and Marvel, taking players back to World War 2 and the origins of Hydra. The story focuses on both Captain America and Black Panther, who in this game is T’Challa’s grandfather Azzuri, who are both fighting the Germans.
