Avalanche Studios' canceled Iron Man game was never officially announced to the public, but over an hour of footage from the open-world superhero game has now spilled online.

To quickly catch you up on the project, the developer of Just Cause and Mad Max was once in charge of making an open-world game starring Iron Man during the MCU's early years in the 2010s.

While Disney and Avalanche never went public about their collaboration, studio co-founder and former boss Christofer Sundberg spilled the beans in an interview a few years ago.

Now, we can finally see what Avalanche's Stockholm studio was cooking thanks to well over an hour of leaked footage that was supposedly sourced from a PS3 development kit, per Reddit.

And, yep, that sure looks like an Iron Man game made by the folks behind Just Cause. The billionaire playboy is seen jetting through the skies at top speed in a fashion that's not too dissimilar from the way players could glide and grapple all across the Just Cause maps - add in some crazy physics and huge explosions, and you're halfway there.

The footage certainly isn't polished, which is to be expected considering its development was cut many years short, but what is here definitely looks fun. As well as aerial flight, Iron Man is shown using his recognizable suite of gadgets and tech, with small missiles shooting out of his mechanical shoulders. Melee combat seems to have been inspired by the Batman Arkham games, as it was in 2015's Mad Max as well.
