Marvel has rolled out some new images of the character designs for the upcoming Marvel Universe Online MMO. I've already featured the designs for Wolverine, and below we have Captain America, Thor, The Thing and Iron Man. Check 'em out, and let me know what you think!

 

 

 

Snikity-Snikt, Bub! Check out this character design sheet of Wolverine as he'll appear in Marvel Universe Online. Hopefully this will be a game featuring Wolverine that performs better than - ya know. It certainly looks good so far, and it's being written by Brian Michael Bendis, so fingers crossed.

Here's the logo for the upcoming Marvel Universe MMO announced last week. While you're waiting for this game, you can play as a little baby hero with exaggerated appendages in Marvel and Marvel Universe developer Gazillion's Super Hero Squad MMO.

Well this week just sucks for DC Universe Online, doesn't it?

In case you've been living under a rock, Sony followed a week of silent, unexplained PlayStation Network downtime with the announcement that they'd been hacked, and that user's credit card information, along with other vital private data, had been compromised. Oops.

Bad time to be a PlayStation 3 console exclusive.

Marvel just put the cherry on that s**t sandwich with the announcement of a Brian Bendis-penned Marvel Universe MMO. What do we know?

• It'll be free-to-play (yay!)
• No Mac support (boo!), PC only. As for consoles, no word yet but I'm betting that XBox 360 users. at the very least, won't be left out in the cold.
• Doctor Doom is the big bad, and confirmed in-game Marvel heroes include Thor, Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Nova, and SQUIRREL GIRL. Beyond that, Bendis says that the game will "launch with more Marvel characters than in any other Marvel game to date".

The game is being developed by Gazillion, who are currently running an open beta for a different Marvel MMO.
