Avengers Assemble For The Marvel Universe MMO

Well, some assembly is required, at least. Over the past few months the MMMS has shown us what Captain America, Thor, Thing and most recently Iron Man will look like in the massively multiplayer game that puts players in the role of their favourite Marvel characters.

The game sounds like a grown-up version of Gazillion’s Marvel Super Hero Squad Online, where it isn’t unusual to see three or four Iron Men running around together, causing child-friendly havoc. If the free-to-play game follows the same pattern, I wouldn’t worry too much about costume continuity; they’ll release new outfits for you to purchase on a regular basis.

    So… we play as known characters? Interesting. Makes sense to do something different; there are already DCUO, Champions and CoH to deal with in the customisation area.

      at a guess it is being made to compete with dcuo’s growing subscibers so you will probably make your own character

    If done right, It might be fun.

    It’ll be interesting too see which cop-out they use to explain why there are 1000 Thors running around

      I assume it’ll involve hand waving and something about some kind of multi-verse
