Development Following X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge

Edwards shared never-before-seen images and gameplay footage from the canceled title, tentatively titled "The Invincible Iron Man," a nod to the character's comic book origins. The project commenced shortly after the release of Genepool Software's X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge. His posts included the game's title card, the Genepool Software logo, screenshots, and original Xbox gameplay footage, showcasing the initial startup screen and a desert-set tutorial segment.

Activision's Cancellation of "The Invincible Iron Man"

Despite fan enthusiasm, Activision axed "The Invincible Iron Man" just months into development. Genepool Software subsequently closed, leaving the team unemployed. While Activision never publicly explained the cancellation, Edwards speculated on several possibilities, including delays in the related film, dissatisfaction with the game's progress, or another developer being chosen for the project.

A Unique Iron Man Design

The game's Iron Man design differed significantly from Robert Downey Jr.'s MCU portrayal, predating it by almost five years. The suit closely resembled the character's design from the early 2000s "Ultimate Marvel" comic book series. Edwards stated he was unaware of the design choices made by the art team. He promised further gameplay footage but hasn't yet delivered on that promise.
