Marvel’s Unreal License!

“Listen up True believers”…I always wanted to say that! Marvel Comic nerdness aside, you should defiantly listen up. Gazillion Entertainment announced today that it has licensed Epic Games Unreal Engine 3 to power the upcoming, free-to-play Marvel Heroes MMO! That’s right. The Marvel MMO is coming our way.

“We love Unreal Engine 3’s streaming system. It’s made our entire technical approach possible and is easy to work with,” said Jeff Lind, studio director of Gazillion’s Secret Identity Studios. “We also love the flexibility we get from the actor components, which have empowered us to make all kinds of customizations without sacrificing the built-in features of the engine.” 

After playing Champions Online and DCU, I’m looking forward to see what Marvel Heroes has in store. One thing to note is that, as it stands, gamers will be able to play as famous Marvel characters. Not sure how I feel about a thousand Spider-mans running around. Then again, I’ve always wanted to play as the “real” hulk and not one I created via character creation. Hopefully, there will be some sort of balance. Either way, I’m looking forward to this game releasing on PC later this year!
