When is the Marvel Heroes 2016 release going to happen?
We have decided to move to release out of December and into January.
Two reasons for this:
Quality! We've gotten feedback over the past year (and before that, even) that we should take more time with important content and features and not be afraid to delay them to make sure they're great. We agree with that. We think that delaying things to make the game better and less buggy is super important. Our schedule has been too aggressive in the past for us to focus on things that matter most and in 2016, we aim to put the spotlight on quality and improvements.
Holidays! Marvel Heroes 2016 will be a major release with a new character, a new story chapter, and more, and if something is wrong with any of these features, it will be much harder to respond to them due to the holiday schedules.
What will be coming out in December then?
Coming out in December separate from the 2016 release will be:
Iron Fist
Danger Room (Before the Iron Fist patch but still relevant)
Crafting Rework Phase 1
Winter Event/Sale
Howard the Duck
What about Deadpool?
Deadpool's 52 Review will be on Test Center this month. The release date is to be determined by your feedback.
What will the Marvel Heroes 2016 release contain?
Here are the things current scheduled for that release:
Secret Invasion Story Chapter
Leaderboards and Tournaments
Black Cat Playable Hero
Omega System Update
Agent Venom Team-Up
Controller Support
First set of Visual Updates for characters and costumes
Just wanted to give a full update and breakdown on our schedule and what you can expect.
And yes, I know you're waiting to hear about 2016 heroes. We're working on that!
