With Marvel evaluating its video game situation, it sounds like we'll find out what Marvel has planned for gamers at this years D23.
Marvel's deal with Activision is set to expire in 2017, Gazillion's deal to end in 2019; both Sega and THQ have recurring annual deals that are up to Disney and Marvel as to whether they want to renew. We've heard in the past that Marvel would evaluate what it wants to do with it's properties and video games. My source has informed me that Marvel will announce which deals it's keeping in place, and which new developers it's partnering with.
Marvel has begun doing this in recent years, as they recently partnered with Telltale to develop a Marvel adventure game. Marvel did also make a deal with Gazillion in 2009 which lead to the release of Marvel Heroes.
While my source stresses that we likely won't find out specifics regarding what these partners are working on, the idea is to show that Marvel is making a push for current generation (Playstation 4, Xbox One) systems. It sounds too like some existing partners like Gazillion may port their games over to current generation systems.
On the Star Wars front, we will finally find out what Amy Henning and Jade Raymond's Star Wars project is. As some may recall, Amy was working on Uncharted 4 before she left Naughty Dog to join EA and work on an undisclosed Star Wars game. Jade Raymond (Assassins Creed I and II) later joined to assist in this project. My source tells me that we're going to find out what this game is.
