The change in Marvel Heroes when it was rebranded to Marvel Heroes 2015 was monumental. A ton of content was added, and significant changes were made that resonated in the community. Now, shown at a sneak preview at New York Comic-Con yesterday, Gazillion announces that Marvel Heroes 2015 will transition to Marvel Heroes 2016 this December.
Marvel Heroes 2016 will release new tent-pole additions on a regular basis. There are tons of changes and things coming to the game, most of which be revealed in the coming weeks, but some highlights and features comings (starting this December) are:
- “Secret Invasion” Story Chapter: Battle alien Skrulls of all shapes and sizes, including the Super-Skrull himself, Kl’rt, who makes his long-awaited, much requested Marvel Heroes debut.
- Controller Support: One of the community’s most requested features.
- Visual Updates: Revamped looks for characters introduced during Marvel Heroes’ 2013 launch window.
- Leaderboards: Something new and interesting to do every night. Tournaments and Seasons will grow out of this eventually.
- Steam Achievements: Players loved the new in-game achievements added to Marvel Heroes 2015 – now, the feature extends to Steam with nearly 100 of them.
- Mac Out of Beta: The Mac version has been in beta for over a year now. Not anymore.
- “All-New All-Different” Material: Keeping things current with what is happening in the greater Marvel landscape to a greater degree than ever, such as the current “All-New All-Different” comics, while still also continuing to honor over 75 years of comic history.
There's also planned content follow the December launch, including a Savage Land Patrol Zone (a never-ending gauntlet of dinosaurs, sadistic mutates and more) and a Thanos Raid (the debut of the Mad Titan in Marvel Heroes). More playable character will also be added (there's currently over 50), as well as new team-up heroes and pets.
Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks!
