As a long-time Marvel fan, I wasn’t shocked to see Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor become so central in the movies – they were always the big draws! Even in the comics, they were presented as the top heroes, like DC’s Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. But honestly, they weren’t always the most popular characters overall.

Henderson confirmed he’d heard rumors about the upcoming State of Play focusing on third-party games, but also mentioned hearing last month that a God of War announcement was expected in April. While others wondered if the reveal might happen in June instead, Henderson questioned whether the State of Play would only feature third-party news, or if it would also include a God of War announcement. He added that Insomniac Games has hinted at a Spring announcement, which could potentially be another trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine.
All three new games will be playable with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. However, only two of them are included with the more expensive Xbox Game Pass Premium tier. Those with the basic Xbox Game Pass Essential plan won’t have access to any of these new additions.
