Must be Thanos snapping his fingers again
Remember when it emerged that the folks behindDC Universe Onlinewere working on a Marvel MMORPG back in November? You know, the one that was beingled by Jack Emmert, co-founder of Cryptic Studios and designer of City Of Heroes? Well, hope you weren’t too excited because it’s been cancelled by parent company Enad Global 7.
In astatementon their website, Enad Global 7 said that the cancellation was due to the board deciding they wanted to “change the development priorities and reallocate resources within the group to focus on alternative long-term projects”. So that means shuffling around the 500 million Swedish krona (£40 million) they’d earmarked for the Marvel MMO over the next three years to several smaller investments instead. EG7 say these would include “previously announced major upgrades” forThe Lord Of The Rings Onlineand DC Universe Online, along with original intellectual properties.
If you were really looking forward to some Marvel on your desktop then there’s always the recently revealedMarvel SnapCCG that’s launching later this year on PC, I guess. Or you can always change allegiances and have a pop at the free-to-play DCUO onSteam.
