Source: Marvel Universe Canned

A reliable source has confirmed to Next-Gen that Microsoft is cancelling the superhero MMO Marvel Universe Online.

As Crytpic Studios' development of Marvel Universe ramped up, NCsoft was eventually forced to outright buy Cryptic's original superhero MMO, the NCsoft-published City of Heroes, says our source. Now Microsoft has decided to cancel Marvel Universe, which leaves Cryptic with plenty of time and a nice chunk of change from the City of Heroes sell-off to develop a new IP.

The source, who wished to remain anonymous, said that an official announcement will be made in a few weeks about the demise of the game, unless something "drastic" occurs. (Industry, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, PC, Xbox 360)
