EA seems to be doing everything right currently. Everyone knows how years ago they shifted their focus to exclusively multiplayer games, claiming single-player games were dead. Now they have once again shifted their focus to working on single-player titles and making some really exciting titles as a result. One such game is the upcoming Iron Man. And the latest development hints at this game being somewhat different.

EA Motive, the developer working on the upcoming Iron Man game, has a prowess in building immersive single-player experiences. They have even proven it several times with their previous games. And their new approach to the game based on Marvel’s superhero already sounds interesting.

EA Motive might be looking into adding some RPG mechanics to the upcoming Iron Man game.

A job posting by EA Motive has suggested their upcoming game would include some RPG mechanics. This means the new Iron Man game would have much more depth in its gameplay than any Iron Man game ever made before. Their job posting is for a senior game designer, and it has some requirements that stand out:

  • Experience working on progression systems and game economies is a plus.
  • Knowledge of recent titles and trends in action games and RPGs and the ability to apply insights from them

The player progression system can mean anything, but mostly when developers hire people specialized in this stuff, it might mean something more. Motive’s previous games already had a progression system, and it worked fine. The second question is straightforward for a person with knowledge of action and RPGs, which is pretty telling in itself.
