Apparently most likely candidates for early 2018 characters Are Cloak & Dagger and one of the Guardians, possibly Gamora. Wasp has been flagged as low priority, late 2018 at best.

why aren't they turning Falcon into a playable yet

He's got more than 2 trees worth of skills across his team up variants and he's supremely recognizable now

Just do the lazy thing and crank him out, he's mostly done already. With multiple costumes even

You can't criticse them for failing to do the lazy thing and squeeze out content from retooled existing work given the characters they've announced.

Marvel. Diablo. How do you take what should be a license to print money and gently caress it up so hard? I suppose that being said are there any decent Marvel games in general? Future Fight is good but i just don't have it in me to grind any more, I guess we have to wait and see what Squeenix does which i'm sure will buck the trends of both Marvel games and their own content :sigh:

Gamora in 2018 sounds like a very Gaz way of timely capitalizing on her featuring in a recently released movie. Also super pumped to see them making Carnage playable based on those four issues where everything in the comics went topsy-turvy and he was, get this, a good guy?!

I mean, forget making Kamala Khan or Medusa playable, it's not like they're at all relevant to what's going on in the comics these days, or readers who've recently been brought in by titles like A-Force or Hellcat.

Although their calander for next year could just be the words 'playable Jubilee' with a red circle around it and I'd forget the past two years even happened.

I hope this sets a precedent to give us a new Taskmaster every week where he's copying a different person's skills. Just ditch the current incarnations of TM and Rogue and start doing this to pump up those rookie content numbers.

the fact that we're getting playable carnage over basically any character marvel is actually pushing says pretty much everything you need to about gazillion, this game's fanbase, and how much marvel cares about it

Hell, ditch costumes while you're at it!

Each "costume" is now a stand-alone version of each character purchasable individually!

That content roadmap paints a very grim picture.

The creative director is in that thread talking about plans beyond 2018 and I'm wondering in a completely non-lovely way if he'll still have a job by then.

Real talk, they should let costumes be purchasable with eternity splinters because then they can drain those out of the marketplace using the easiest content to produce.

Yea , as a 48 year old comic book fan whose youngest child just turned 23 , I have no clue what the kids know / like. Nor do I care.

Kids usually need to get money from parents to spend on things like entertainment etc.

Adults , well most of us anyway earn our own money to spend (or not) on our entertainment.

Maybe "catering" to kids (general audiences) is why Gaz has alleged financial troubles and perhaps if they had "catered" to the Adult (Marvel comics fans) more money would have been spent ????

Was really hoping for some more substantial poo poo than that. I'll have nothing else to play when this game dies. I am completely baffled at the idea of making a second playable Thor. So many heroes to choose from and they decide to add another Thor.

If you've never played it, you have a ton of good game to go through, hours and hours worth.

If you've been playing it for a while, there's a very slow pace of content coming which means you log in once every 6 months.

Nobody read A-Force or Hellcat, that's why they got canceled.

Please stop recommending terrorists as playable characters.

this game is very good, the people posting in this thread just played it for thousands of hours and goons love to whine.

instead of complaining, just download Marvel Heroes Omega, the new game that is totally awesome and fun

if they go into open beta without omega difficulty and items i will laugh
