Consider this pure speculation, but Black Rock Studio could be working on a new Marvel game for Disney Interactive Studios.
The Brighton-based developer is currently searching for someone with a "love for paper RPGs, board games and comic books" to join the team, which, reading between the lines, may mean that the team is developing a Marvel RPG for Disney.
The project will purportedly launch in November 2026 and is the result of Disney's $1.5 billion collaboration with Epic.
The Walt Disney Company's new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is a big fan of video games, and one former Disney executive believes D'Amaro would be smart to do even more in gaming going forward. This could include a buyout of a gaming company like Epic Games.
In an interview with CNBC, Kevin Mayer--a former Disney and TikTok executive who now runs Candle Media--said D'Amaro will need to take "bold steps" to help Disney make more money and grow its stock price. One part of this could be doing more in gaming, he said.
Apparently nobody remembers the absolute shitshow that happened when EA brought the Havok engine which was used as the default engine of the 6th generation like UE is used today.
You've got it wrong, EA bought Renderware not Havok. Havok was bought by Intel in 2007 and then Microsoft in 2015
Nor was it ever a widely used or considered, game engine, Renderware was. It was and still is a physics/material simulation plugin for the actual game engines.
Yeah you're right i was thinking of Renderware. But point still stands Renderware was used literally everywhere from games like GTA 3,VC,SA to Sonic games and Tony hawk it was really the default industry wide engine that UE is today.
If Disney takes over Epic and UE we could face a situation where they change the terms of use for other game devs big and small. They could remove the licensing agreements currently in place and impose a payment per download model like Unity did which could cripple the industry.
Well I can imagine DIsney with their transgender Snowwhite and black cinderally and mermaid and other garbage. Imagine video games lmao!!!
Dumbass cant even spell Cinderella but apparently he's upset by the 1997 Cinderella classic starring Brandy. Almost 20 year old movie.
Just say you dont like black people man, we all know it.
I really hope this doesn’t happen. They ruin everything that they buy. Terrible company
Trolling. Hope Disney take the Maval characters like Spider-Man and Wolverine away from Sony and make it themselves that would me laugh so hard.
Disney Pixel RPG is a pixel-art adventure that transports fans and players into a magical, turn-based journey across breathtaking landscapes.
Unless its a Marvel Kart Racing game, i dont see how it'll work with Black Rock.
I'm not entirely sure how a Marvel kart racing game would work either, but yeah. An RPG seems waaay out of blackrocks league.
disney has done some violent games in the past (turok). i wonder if there will be a punisher game. i thought the punisher game by volition was pretty underrated, i quite enjoy it. it was the batman aa of last-gen, minus the hype and graphics.
you do know it can be some other comic adaptation:/
and Black Rock are good at racing games
it could be Initial D comic
