Today, Marvel and Gazillion Entertainment showed off the first in-game trailer for Marvel Heroes, an upcoming free-to-play MMO set in the Marvel Comics universe, along with new details of the game. Take a look at the short trailer below:
Did the trailer remind you of Diablo? Thatās because Gazillion Entertainmentās president is David Brevik, who was co-founder of Blizzard North, the original Diablo and Diablo II developer, before they parted ways with the rest of Blizzard. āMarvel Heroes represents the combination of Marvel IP with all of the knowledge and experience I gained creating Diablo,ā Brevik says about the game.
Marvel Heroes will include familiar locales from the various Marvel comics, including Hellās Kitchen (Daredevil), the Savage Land (X-Men) and Mutant Town. In the Marvel universeās version of Midtown Manhattan and locales like the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, youāll be able to meet other players, select missions, buy items from identifiable Marvel characters and so on.
Players will be able to customize their Marvel heroes by finding costumes from each characterās storied history, and by assigning different powers to them. As far as characters go, youāll be able to recruit a bunch of Marvelās identifiable characters, going from popular ones like the Avengers to more obscure ones like Squirrel Girl and Ka-Zar.
