Disney begins its inevitable assault on Facebook through its subsidiary Marvel, with the upcoming Q1 release of <em>Marvel: Avengers Alliance</em>, a new game for the platform developed by Playdom. It's a "combat role playing game experience with dozens of familiar Marvel superheroes and villains to be collected," in which players can train their stable of Marvel superfolks to upgrade their abilities and stats.<br />
<br />
This, of course, means we can expect to see more Facebook games from both Disney and Marvel -- the floodgates have been thrown open (let's say by the Hulk, in the interest of following the theme). We're surprised that this hadn't already happened!<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/marvel-avengers-alliance/">Marvel: Avengers Alliance</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/marvel-avengers-alliance/#4729516"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/01/maamarvel-avengers-alliance-l_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/marvel-avengers-alliance/#4729514"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/01/maahelicarrier-ti_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/marvel-avengers-alliance/#4729517"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/01/maascreenshot01-l_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/marvel-avengers-alliance/#4729518"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/01/maascreenshot02-l_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/marvel-avengers-alliance/#4729519"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/01/maascreenshot3-l_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/09/marvel-avengers-alliance-brings-marvel-and-disney-to-facebook-g/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Marvel: Avengers Alliance brings Marvel and Disney to Facebook games</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/09/marvel-avengers-alliance-brings-marvel-and-disney-to-facebook-g/">Marvel: Avengers Alliance brings Marvel and Disney to Facebook games</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:30:00 EST.
