Remember when Microsoft purchased the rights to Marvel characters for MMOGs earlier this year? Sigil Games Online, home to many EverQuest veterans, will be handling development duties for the yet-to-be-named Marvel MMOG. Sigil is currently working on another online title, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, so there's no telling how long it will take before work begins on the Marvel project. However, 1UP says Xbox 360 and PC users will be able to play against each other across platforms. Excelsior!

Hopefully this will end up better than City of Heros did. Looks interesting. I wonder if will be able to play in real world locations like the comics..

How would that work though? You obviously won't play as actual Marvel characters, so I guess we can expect a lot of Wolverine clones, just like City of Heroes. There will also be some real unsavory characters that get created as well. I don't know if I like the idea of fanboys everywhere tainting the Marvel Universe with their filth. Isn't that why we have City of Heroes?

I had this idea before City of Heroes was even concepted. :D I also had an awesome introductory FMV movie mapped out. It was really great. I think I've got the sketches somewhere around.

So Marvel is going to sue itself now? After their stupid lawsuits and that absurd House of M thing I don't want anything to do with them...
Except the next X-Men movie
And the next Hulk movie
And their Essential collections
And their video games
wait...
