City of Marvel!?

Holy crap! Forget City of Heroes and City of Villains - it'll be like City of Marvel (City of Avengers, City of X-Men, City of Fantastic Four, City of Spiderman....you get the idea!) Wow - can't wait to see if they can pull this off!! Last time I heard about Cryptic and Marvel at the same time, it was because Marvel was suing Cryptic because people like me were making Marvel-like characters in the City of Heroes games! Nice to see they can put all that behind them...


From Newsarama:

"The last time anyone put the words “Marvel” and “Cryptic” together in a new article was…well, the two parties announced that they had settled all litigation related to the suit Marvel filed against Crytpic Studios in relation to the game City of Heroes. Throughout the battle between Marvel and Crytpic, there were fans who suggested that the comic publisher and game studio needed to put their differences aside, and focus on creating a kickass massively multiplayer online game, a la CoH but set in the Marvel Universe, and using Marvel characters.

Fans who suggested that are getting the last laugh today, as it was announced at X06 that Cryptic will join Marvel and Microsoft Game Studios (their partnership was announced last summer) in developing a Marvel Universe MMO for both the Xbox 360 and Windows Vista platform, and will allow seamless play for players on either system.
