Regardless of headlining a film and starring in a number of current live-action shows, Daredevil’s solely had one likelihood to headline a online game of his personal. That movie tie-in game for the Recreation Boy Advance could also be forgotten by most, however at one level, the Marvel character was meant to star in a console earlier than it was in the end cancelled.
Earlier within the week, prototype footage of that recreation—Daredevil: The Man With out Worry—surfaced on the web courtesy of recreation preservation website Hidden Palace. As previously reported in 2016 by DidUKnowGaming, Daredevil was meant for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC from developer 5,000 Ft. Studios and writer Encore Inc (which acquired the sport rights to a number of Marvel characters on the time). The footage beneath reveals Matt Murdock doing what he does finest: beating up criminals, doing parkour, and tangling with Kingpin, Bullseye, and his on/off flame Elektra. The Catholic guilt presumably wasn’t finalized as a mechanic but on the time of this prototype.
5,000 Ft. (then identified for the Military Males franchise) deliberate to make Daredevil right into a recreation comprised of vignettes which might present iconic moments from the hero’s comedian e-book historical past. After the 2003 film was introduced, the sport’s scope shifted to a extra open-world format, which brought on clashes between Marvel and Sony. Whereas Marvel needed to create a recreation that captured Matt Murdock’s essence, Sony was all about gameplay mechanics, and pitched the thought of rail grinding just like the Tony Hawk video games. That…didn’t occur, clearly, and the challenge was scrapped.
Marvel and Sony ultimately made up in time to launch a trilogy of rad Spider-Man games in recent times, and the comics writer has partnered with quite a lot of builders over the many years. Daredevil himself has continued to be a featured participant amongst many in titles like Marvel Final Alliance 3 and Marvel Strike Power. However curiously, this video hit across the identical time that Insomniac has teased something Daredevil-adjacent could also be taking place within the studio’s not too long ago launched Spider-Man 2. (Matt Murdock and his lawyer BFF Foggy Nelson have been identify dropped within the 2018 Spider-Man recreation, and within the comics, Daredevil and Spidey are good buddies.) When Uncharted inventive director Amy Hennig and Skydance New Media have been revealed to be engaged on a Marvel challenge, there have been hopes that this may result in a Daredevil recreation, however the studio’s challenge turned out to be a team-up recreation starring Captain America and Black Panther.
Clearly, the demand for a solo Daredevil recreation (or anything that includes him, actually) is kind of excessive, and it’s seemingly one thing Marvel is conscious of. The developer who will get the chance to lastly make that occur stays to be seen.
