Troy Baker Expresses Interest in Daredevil Game | Game Rant

Daredevil is one of Marvel’s most iconic characters, and rightly so. The Man Without Fear boasts a storied comic history full of brilliant storylines as well as an excellent Netflix series that saw several key moments adapted — though Daredevil still lacks a proper game of his own.

The closest Marvel fans have come to a game starring the protector of Hell’s Kitchen was the leaked Daredevil video game footage from late last year. Showing off a canceled game called Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, the PlayStation 2 era title saw Matt Murdock facing off with Kingpin. Characters like Bullseye and Elektra also appeared, and the game featured an odd rail-sliding mechanic as well as hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately, development troubles and consistently changing visions for the project eventually led to its cancellation.

While the canceled Daredevil game will never come to be, the character’s surge in popularity over recent years makes the possibility of a new game more likely. If it were to happen, there is certainly potential for an excellent modern game centered on the character. One Twitter user named @joe_fayant highlighted this, pitching a game set in Insomniac’s Spider-Man universe where players need to fight crime and defend victims in court. Pushing for Troy Baker to play the lead character, the Marvel fan’s premise for a game is certainly intriguing — and it seems Troy Baker feels the same.

Quoting the tweet and using the “eyes” emoji, Baker clearly seems to be hinting that he would like to see such a game be made. Appearing to show interest in the role of Matt Murdock, as this was the reason he was tagged in the post, Baker’s acknowledgement of the fan’s hopes is hard not to be excited about. With Baker having played The Hulk in Marvel’s Avengers, The Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins, and Batman himself in Telltale’s Batman series, the incredibly talented voiceover artist is no stranger to comic book roles.

While this is far from confirmation of a potential Daredevil game being in development and Baker’s interest could lead to nothing, it is hard not to think of all the potential that a Daredevil game would have. Telltale-like choices can be made in court room segments, allowing players to embody the lawyer side of Matt Murdock. Something like The Last of Us series’ listen mode for stealth sections could also be incorporated, taking advantage of the hero’s advanced senses.

With Charlie Cox’s Daredevil supposedly returning via a role in the MCU’s Spider-Man 3, an announcement of a Daredevil game could not come at a better time. With so much potential and one of the most prominent actors in gaming showing interest, hopefully Marvel Games delivers.

A Daredevil game is not known to be in development.
