First, Marvel released the trailer to its new MMORPG video game today…and after watching it I seriously want a computer that has the moxie to handle a game like that…
First Trailer and New Details for Marvel Heroes MMO
From Marvel.com:
Drawing upon the 8,000-plus heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe, players become their favorite Marvel Super Heroes and explore such famous Marvel landscapes as the Savage Land, Hell’s Kitchen and Mutant Town. Players will combat villains and complete missions in randomized public zones as well as being able to discover and acquire their own cast of characters; from the well-known Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye and Black Widow to the more obscure Squirrel Girl and Ka-Zar.
And the games storyline was written by Brian Michael Bendis…the guy who killed Spider-Man…so, yeah…anyway…read the article and watch the video at the link above.
The other cool thing was Marvel released a graphic detailing the Marvel FILM universe as a chronological timeline. This only relates to the films made leading up Marvel’s The Avengers and as such doesn’t include the other franchises currently licensed to studios other than Marvel Studios/Disney…so no X-Men, Spider-Man, Punisher, Ghost Rider, etc.
From Marvel.com:
Compiling events seen in “Iron Man,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” and “Captain America: The First Avenger,” this comprehensive timeline covers everything leading right up to “Marvel’s The Avengers,” now in theaters.
Because I attributed the story AND because I’m cool like that, here’s the timeline (click on it to see it bigger)…
There you have it. Excelsior!
