 Marvel Heroes is an action RPG based on the Marvel Heroes IP that you play online with strangers and friends alike.

 Since the game has launched, we’ve added 4 new Heroes and we are also adding Loki as a playable Hero in Game Update 2.0 – Asgard. We’ve also added new game modes, Heroic and Superheroic story mode, a plethora of new items and item slots, new costumes, and more!

 QUESTION: Tell us something about the process of developing a digital version of the Marvel Universe. Which has been the hardest part and which one the most fun to work on?

The hardest part is also the same reason why Marvel Heroes has been so fun to work on and that is the huge amount of history and content available to us as developers from the Marvel IP. There is so much stuff we want to add to the game and we have to use great patience to pace everything. Creating something that is truly awesome and enjoyable for our players and fans is a privilege.
