Today saw EA’s annual Investor Day briefing, and the company offered up plenty of information on projects currently in development behind closed doors. One slide from the presentation shown to investors laid out the publisher’s market share in each of the most popular genres of video game.

With the theatrical release of Black Widow, Marvel fans have been able to return to theatres for the first time in about a year and a half and watch the newest MCU entry on the big screen. It’s exciting to see Phase 4 of the MCU kicking off in the film department after the Disney Plus shows started it with a bang.
