The Marvel MMORPG from the creators of DC Online will never see the light of day. The game publisher thought the project was too risky. Too bad, because his artistic direction was anything but dazzling.
Could the ghost of Marvel’s Avengers have calmed the EG7 group’s enthusiasm? The management has finally decided: the MMORPG Marvel developed by Daybreak Games will be discontinued. And we have a little glimpse of what it would have looked like.
A preview of the discontinued Marvel MMORPG
Last November, Dimensional Ink Studios, to whom we have DC Universe Online to thank, proudly announced that they were working on an online role-playing game based on Marvel licenses. Led by CEO Jack Emmert (Star Trek Online, City of Heroes), the project was intended to fully utilize the team’s experience but never saw the light of day. EG7 has decided to cancel the MMORPG Marvel and reinvest the 50 million dollars in other projects and in the sequel to DC Universe Online and The Lord of the Rings Online. The group considered the investment too expensive and too risky, a pity because it would not have been similar to their competitor’s game.
Ramiro Galan, the project’s UI designer, has published some menu concept art on his site art station which gives us a taste of the game, character creation and customization. The Marvel MMORPG was closer to the graphics style of Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, which is what the developers wanted. pay homage with vibrant, rich colors “. Too bad we’ll probably never see the game in action.
