Marvel Universe Online

[marten0305]

I have searched this site for a forum discussing Marvel and Cryptic's new MMORPG about the Marvel Universe. The game is a working title, but for now they're calling Marvel Universe Online.

Cryptic is mostly known for it's MMORPG's, City of Heroes and City of Villians. Cryptic has access to the entire Marvel Universe, over 5000 Marvel characters.

The game will take place in New York City, and will have all the characters in it. All events that happen in comics will have an effect on the online world. They will have their own events every few moths that will effect the online world.

They're not sure whether to give the players the choice of available characters from the Marvel Universe or give them character creation and let them create their own hero/villain. This on much debate though because they are worried about players creating characters from they're rival company.

Marvel's saying that they will be scouting for new, unique, interesting character that they will be featuring in their comics. I already know what kind of character i'd create and would be interested in featuring him in their comics.

MUO will be for PC and 360. For 360 players they will have exclusive content for download from the live marketplace. Exclusive content such as additional costumes, items, etc...
