Thanks to a Twitter exchange between voice actorTroy Bakerand Marvel’s Bill Rosemann, rumors started swirling that aDaredevilvideo game was in development for next-generation consoles. Unfortunately for fans of the Man Without Fear though, that rumor has since been denied by Rosemann himself.
Taking to Twitter, Rosemann confirmed that there is noDaredevilgame in active development at this time. However, Rosemann did say that he and Troy Baker have a “shared desire” when it comes to making aDaredevilvideo game. This could mean that there is a possibility of aDaredevilvideo game materializing at some point down the line, though fans shouldn’t expect to see anything anytime soon.

Insomniac’sSpider-Mangame featured a number ofDaredevilreferences, which certainly added fuel to the fire, and seems to indicate that there is an interest to see the character featured in video game form. Maybe if Daredevil doesn’t get his own video game, he could still pop up in a different Marvel game.
There are numerous Marvel video games in active development, with a couple of them releasing this year.Iron Man VRis set to launch this summeras a PlayStation VR exclusive, and September will see the release of the long-awaitedMarvel’s Avengersgame from Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix. However, it seems more likely that Daredevil would appear in aSpider-Manvideo game sequel if he was going to appear in a game that wasn’t his own.
Considering the huge success of Insomniac’sSpider-Mangame, it’s virtually guaranteed that an active sequel is well into development for PlayStation 5. There have been various rumors and “leaks” about whatSpider-Man 2on PS5 may entail, and while it’s impossible to determine the veracity of these claims, many seem to be in agreement that the sequel will deal with theSymbiote Suitand the debut of Venom.
Some ambitious rumors claim that theSpider-ManPS5reveal will happen alongside the PS5 reveal itself, currently rumored for June 4. Whether or not that comes to pass is anyone’s guess, but any Marvel fans should be sure to tune in just in case.
