History

Marvel Games was established in March 2009 as a dedicated video game group within Marvel Entertainment, responsible for overseeing games based on Marvel properties and working with external developers and publishers.[2] Later that year, Marvel Entertainment was acquired by The Walt Disney Company.[3]
In 2014, Jay Ong joined Marvel as vice president of games and led a strategic overhaul of the division. Marvel Games moved toward closer collaboration with developers, greater creative freedom and a more selective approach to licensing, with an increased emphasis on original games rather than titles tied directly to film releases.[2] In 2016, Disney discontinued Disney Infinity and its internally developed console-game business, shifting its console strategy toward licensing its intellectual properties to outside developers and publishers.[4] Marvel Games continued this partnership-based model, collaborating with outside studios on titles including Marvel's Spider-Man, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Snap and Marvel Rivals.
As part of Disney's corporate restructuring in 2023, the company's global games business was placed within its parks and experiences segment.[5] In March 2026, Disney moved its Games and Digital Entertainment organization into Disney Entertainment.[6] Marvel Games subsequently became part of the Disney Games Group, alongside Disney & Pixar Games, Lucasfilm Games and 20th Century Games.
