Marvel has announced a brand new open-world RPG called Future Revolution for mobile devices, and it looks like Captain America, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and Doctor Strange are taking centre stage. The reveal trailer shows the four characters going into battle with an army of creatures while reality folds in on itself. The footage is from the game engine but it may not play like what we see on the screen. Alongside the four heroes are other characters that will be joining the fight. Those characters are Captain America, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange. No, that is not a typo. It appears Future Revolution is embracing the multiverse as different variants of the characters come into battle.
Future Revolution is being developed by Netmarble which has previously developed mobile titles Star Wars: Force Arena, Lineage 2: Revolution, and Marvel Future Fight. Of course, this is not the only Marvel game we are expecting this year. Marvel’s Avengers will be releasing in September and it will feature the likes of Captain America, Black Widow, Thor, Hulk, Iron-Man, and Ms Marvel. That game will also focus on a disaster that has befallen the Avengers and in it they seem more divided than in Future Revolution.
In our preview for Marvel’s Avengers Stefan wrote:
While each hero will start off with certain powers, you have Gear and Skills to earn and unlock. Earned through completing challenges, Gear has different rarities, which can be modified and buffed through perks and synergies with other items from the same sets. Then there’s Skills, adding a lot of depth and flexibility around the four main character archetypes of melee, ranged, aerial and ground. You can take Thor and focus him around area of effect lightning attacks, or beef his one-on-one hammer attacks up instead. It’s here that you’ll see Iron Man’s missiles and spinning laser attacks come out to play, as his repulser attacks get put to one side.
And hoping to prop all of this up are a range of ever expanding cosmetics that Square hope you’ll splash out on with microtransactions. You’ll see a huge variety from the movies, comics and TV series, as well as some new creations from Crystal Dynamics.
And it actually all feels like this can come together quite nicely. Again, Marvel Ultimate Alliance shows that this kind of superhero team up works well for superheroes, and we know the eternal delights of Destiny’s online co-op all too well…I’m cautiously optimistic.
