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.
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
The console's library of games may be big, but it can all be played on the same couch. Here is a list of the best Co-Op games on the PS2.
A swan song is a game that sends off an aging console out to pasture. Not all are great, but these 10 made their console owners proud.
Beautiful article. BOTW was a perfect swan song for the Wii U. Despite its flaws, I loved that damn thing!
Thanks! Yeah, I mostly played it on Switch, but the Wii U version was competent. I'm just glad that Nintendo didn't do their Wii U fans dirty and make it a Switch only release.
I originally tried out Final Fantasy IX cuz I was interested in swan song titles after beating God of War 2
BOTW is my personal fav here. Seriously such a fantastic game. I played it on Switch but form what I've read, the Wii U version is totally fine!
The Last of Us?
The perfect story telling game from a console and company known for their story telling as well as a GOTY record breaking game that was a completely new IP.
Marvel Universe Online, might not even be canceled for long. Microsoft might just change developers.
Personally I would rather have Marvel Universe canceled over Alan Wake or Too Human.
I though 1up said the game that was getting canned had alot of fans? o_o
and yeah I agree Flux.
Also, we have enough MMOs comming 08
Too many will ruin the others (if one gets too popular)
This was the right thing to do :P
I'd rather play Age of Conan MMO
or ofc the best MMO comming this 08
HUXLEY :D
i want to play COH on my 360. thats about the only mmo i enjoy playing, not a liscend version on a marvel or DC world and its heroes
To be truthful...I had totally forgotten about it. Not all that sad to hear it go... Actually a little relieved its shelved as opposed to some of the others that were being speculated on.
I was excited about this when I first heard the news at X06, but then I was hoping there wouldn't be a monthly fee, but no info was ever given about that or much of the games story, gameplay, features, etc...
To say I was excited would be an understatement, since nothing as been shown to get excited about. So, now, that is probably being canceled isn't that big of a loss. I'm just really glad it wasn't Too Human or Alan Wake..and maybe to a lesser extent Banjo 3.
