Iron Man has been canceled from the studio behind Just Cause

Company co-founder Christopher Sundberg revealed that developer Just Cause Avalanche Studios had been working on Iron Man for two years before it was canceled.

Sundberg, who left Avalanche in 2019 to form a new studio called Liquid Swords, discussed the aborted project during an interview with MINMAX.

He said the open world title was canceled around 2012, after two years of development, due to “company policies”.

Disney and Marvel reportedly wanted Avalanche to work quickly in order to complete the game faster than originally planned, but Sundberg said agreeing to do so would “completely break the studio.”

“I was a mess at the end,” he said. “It was like shortening the development time and increasing the budget, and we had to hire 70 or 80 people on the team that I was going to take responsibility for finding a new project for.

“But the development time was shortened so much that it was impossible to do. It would have broken the studio completely if we had agreed to it.”

He explained, “At the end of the project when the team shrinks, then you have to find a new project, and with this year of development time cut off from the original plan, that meant I had one year less to find a new project for a great development team that was from It would have been impossible, and hiring all these developers was a complete nightmare, so it would have been better.”

Sundberg went on to describe the game as “a very messy project that could have done really well.”

While the game would have enabled players to “take off and fly anywhere,” Sundberg said it places a heavy emphasis on melee combat, such as using Iron Man’s pesticides to knock characters through walls.

Sundberg’s new studio, Liquid Swords, is developing an AAA game with Unreal Engine 5.
