Marvel Games has opened up about the possibility of some M-rated superhero games. Marvel Games has made major strides in the last decade by breaking away from movie tie-ins and creating more premium, AAA standalone stories. This has allowed the label to produce some truly wonderful superhero stories that aren't possible in other mediums and allows for new takes on massive characters that have existed for as long as 60 years.
One risk that many are curious to see Marvel Games take on is whether or not it will do an M-rated game. Given Marvel is a brand that is known and enjoyed by families and children, mature stories outside of the comics are few and far between. Logan, Daredevil, and The Punisher have broken the mold in live-action and X-Men Origins: Wolverine's video game tie-in had an M-rating, but that rating is almost never applied to other Marvel games, especially in its current iteration.
"It's something we've talked about and it comes down to character, being authentic, appropriate, and power and responsibility," said Rosemann."The power is we get to work with these great characters. The responsibility is using them correctly. You can try to make a mature game with any characters. Would it be right to have a mature Power Pack game? No, it doesn't fit the themes and the characters. It's not the right thing to do.
Given Wolverine's history of mature stories both due to the level of violence and the adult themes they tackle, some have wondered if Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games will embrace an M-rating. As of right now, we really don't know how it will be rated, but Insomniac has stated it will have a"mature" tone. Only time will tell if this will usher in another M-rating for a Marvel video game, but we'll likely be waiting a while.
