The recent finale of X-Men ’97 has reignited the desire for a resurgence of X-Men video games. The iconic mutant superhero team has been largely neglected in the gaming space since the early 2000s, despite their enduring popularity and relevance to social issues. The absence of an X-Men game of the caliber of X-Men Legends, a groundbreaking superhero RPG, is particularly felt. The article proposes that the success of X-Men ’97 and the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film, as well as the continuing success of isometric RPGs like Diablo IV, create an opportune moment for a successful revival of the X-Men Legends franchise or a full-fledged X-Men sequel. It also argues that the diversity and storytelling potential of the X-Men should be embraced by allowing multiple developers to create games based on the franchise. With Marvel’s Wolverine in the works at Insomniac Games, the article expresses excitement for the future of X-Men video games while emphasizing the need for further exploration and development of this rich superhero universe.
