Snikt! Marvel Universe Free-To-Play

The chaps over at PC Gamer US went to along to see Marvel and Gazillion talk about the Marvel Universe MMO. It's going to be free-to-play and will allow you to play actual Marvel characters. "Some of the characters you will play as are: Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Thor, Spiderman, Nova, and Squirrel Girl." Brian Michael Bendis will be writing for the game, but also you'll apparently "play through existing stories that are told in the comic books." Which means - potentially, I am speculating without checking the facts here - you could end up playing missions based on scripts penned by our own Kieron Gillen. Interesting! The game is being developed by Secret Identity, a part of Gazillion set up specifically for the project.
