Now comes word that Electronic Arts and Marvel have prematurely ended their multi-year deal to develop games based on the Marvel catalog. In the process the previously announced fighting game EA Chicago had been working on is also scuttled.

This does not affect other Marvel licensing deals, including one with Activision that resulted in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance game.

Eeeggh. All preceeding Spider-Man merchandise was made of corn husk, so that was pretty awesome at the time.

This was mentioned in the Game|Life blog.

Update: Justin Lambros, vice president of Marvel's Interactive division, has this to say on the matter, pointing out that future fighting games set in the Marvel universe are in the works:

Electronic Arts and Marvel have jointly agreed to discontinue development of Marvel fighting games under the Electronic Arts brand. This was a business decision based on Electronic Arts portfolio strategy and will not affect Marvel's ongoing plans to release fighting games based on the Marvel properties in the future.

I better read "we're working with Capcom" from Marvel in the future.

Good.
