Well, Marvel pulls one game offline (angering a lot of fans who forked over their cash for extra skins and heroes before having the rug pulled out from under them), and then immediately announces another. After making the controversial decision to lay off lay off their Marvel Heroes employees over the holiday, Marvel is moving ahead with a new title, this time from FoxNext games, a squad-based mobile RPG set in the marvel universe, featuring most of your favorite characters.
Sounds pretty familiar, huh?
This is a strange move, in my opinion. Not that they are "replacing" Marvel Heroes (which they kind of are, in a sense), but that they were developing a game that is so similar around the same time, although admittedly, this new title is aimed at mobile devices instead of PC and consoles.
You can pre-register right now on their website.
Official Announcement:
Today, FoxNext Games and Marvel Entertainment unveiled MARVEL Strike Force, the forthcoming squad-based Super Hero mobile RPG set in the Marvel Universe.
Releasing in 2018, MARVEL Strike Force tasks players to recruit squads of Marvel's greatest Super Heroes and Super Villains to battle it out on mobile devices. MARVEL Strike Force is the first title from FoxNext Games' new mobile game studio in Los Angeles, comprised of former members of mobile entertainment company Kabam.
In MARVEL Strike Force, players will join forces with S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury as they assemble a team of legendary Marvel characters, including Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Spider-Man, Venom, Star-Lord, Gamora, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and many more. Players will create powerful alliances, collect new gear and upgrades to make their teams stronger, and dominate the enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D. in strategic combat.
