In brief

A work-in-progress trailer for EA Motive's Iron Man game leaked Friday night on ResetEra and Reddit before being taken down. EA confirmed the incident via the game's official account without denying it, revealing footage of Tony Stark flying above a major city and fighting Iron Monger.

On Friday, August 28, a work-in-progress video presented as the trailer for Motive Studio's Iron Man game circulated on ResetEra and then Reddit, before being taken down. EA did not deny it.

At 10:09 p.m. in Paris, the official @ironmangame account posted: « Well, that didn't go as planned. But now you know, and we've got a lot more to show you. See you when we're ready. » In other words: it didn't go as planned, but now you know. Opened on June 27, 2023, the account had never posted anything before.

The content itself is nothing official. The video reportedly runs for more than two and a half minutes, under a « AUG26 TEST » watermark. It reportedly shows Tony Stark suiting up, powered flight above a large city, and an opponent who resembles Iron Monger.

Reliability

No known leaker is claiming credit: the file appeared on ResetEra and on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, which quickly removed it. What makes it credible isn't the source, it's the reaction: the account's profile picture was uploaded at 9:55 p.m., fourteen minutes before the message.

What remains uncertain is the editing, the age of the footage, and the city being filmed: Chicago according to Kotaku, New York according to TheGamer. EA still describes the project as a single-player, third-person action-adventure game, with no platforms or release date announced, and has not published any French title.

Nothing to do with the other Iron Man of the week, Avalanche Studios' canceled project, whose 97 minutes of footage leaked on August 27.

What do you think of this forced leak of EA's Iron Man game?

Frequently asked questions

Is this really gameplay from EA Motive's Iron Man game?

The video isn't official in any way and carries an "AUG26 TEST" watermark typical of internal work-in-progress files. Its credibility mostly rests on EA's quick reaction, updating the official account fourteen minutes after the file was taken down.

Why isn't EA denying the leak?

The message posted on the official account, "Well, that didn't go as planned," confirms the incident without formally denying it. It's a way for EA to acknowledge the situation while keeping control of the narrative.

What can be seen in the leaked video?

Tony Stark suiting up in his armor, powered flight above a major city, and a fight against what appears to be Iron Monger. The exact location of the filmed city is still debated, between Chicago and New York.

Is there any connection to the other Iron Man leak this week?

No, it's completely unrelated. The canceled Avalanche Studios project had its own 97-minute leak on August 27th. The two games have nothing to do with each other.
