Iron Man announcement soon

Activision no longer has the rights to make Iron Man games, but Marvel reckons that's not the end of the matter.

"Expect an announcement this fall," was a Marvel chap's response when GameSpot asked about it.

Earlier, Activision had admitted that it "no longer retained" the rights to Iron Man, which is being made into a film due out in May 2008.

There's been no real discussion of why the rights were allowed to subside, but with Spider-Man, X-Men and others on its books, Activision is already well stocked in the superhero department.
