Hammer, lightning: Yup, this is Thor: The Video Game

Like it or not, Sega has the license for the upcoming Thor movie. So you know what that means — Thor: The Video Game based on the movie based on the comic book.

Is it going to be any good? Sega’s history with another Marvel film property, Iron Man, doesn’t bode well for the mighty Thor. Sega had two chances with that one, creating two games, and missing the mark (mostly) with both. Sure, the sequel was an improvement, but that’s not saying much.

So why am I talking about Iron Man so much when this story is about Thor: The Video Game? Well, because we don’t know much of anything about Thor: The Video Game, and this teaser trailer doesn’t tell us much, either. Hammer? Check. A thunderstorm? Yup. Thor? Looks like it.

Thor: The Video Game is out next year, and it’s likely being rushed through development to meet release in time for the film, which hits theaters in May.
