A Glimpse into the Lost Iron Man Game

Edwards shared never-before-seen images and gameplay footage of the game, tentatively titled "The Invincible Iron Man," a nod to the character's comic book origins. Development followed the release of Genepool Software's X-Men 2: Wolverine’s Revenge. His posts included the game's title screen, Genepool's logo, screenshots, and Xbox gameplay footage showing the initial screen and a desert-set tutorial.

Activision's Cancellation Decision

Despite fan enthusiasm, Activision shelved "The Invincible Iron Man" shortly after development began. Genepool Software subsequently closed, leaving the team unemployed. While Activision never publicly explained the cancellation, Edwards suggested several possibilities: delays in the related film, dissatisfaction with the game's progress, or perhaps another developer was chosen for the project.

A Unique Iron Man Design

The game's Iron Man design, predating Robert Downey Jr.'s MCU portrayal by almost five years, closely resembled the "Ultimate Marvel" comic book version from the early 2000s. Edwards stated the design was the artist's choice. He promised more gameplay footage but hasn't yet delivered on that promise.
