Marvel & EA Call Off Marvel Fighting Game Deal

Remember that Marvel Fighting game everyone was getting so excited about a while back? Well, it was in development by EA Chicago, which was closed down just last Summer 2007.

Well, today Marvel Interactive confirmed its deal with EA has been called off.

"Electronic Arts and Marvel have jointly agreed to discontinue development of Marvel fighting games under the Electronic Arts brand," said Justin Lombros, VP of Marvel Interactive. "This was a business decision based on Electronic Arts portfolio strategy and will not affect Marvel's ongoing plans to release fighting games based on the Marvel properties in the future."

Marvel wants to continue working on their character-based fighting game, but they have not revealed anything about the developers/publishers that might be involved.
