By now there are so many that you no longer know who to turn to because each of them gives the feeling of being their little larva in their own corner, without worrying about the others. A situation that irritates Marvel, quick to want to put everything in order? The principal concerned replied!

The Avengers stand out, but it works!
Surprisingly, you don’t need to put together the most popular superheroes to get rave reviews from players. Wanting to attack the Avengers, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have tripped over the carpet a bit because, in the end, the members seem more likely to shine in a production exclusively dedicated to them: the examples of Marvel’s Spider-Manas well as its derivative Miles Moralesand of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy they are clearly saying. And this has not escaped other studios that seem to want to bet on their favorite hero: Insomniac Games continues with Wolverine, Electronic Arts with Iron Man and the newcomer Skydance New Media with the duo Captain America and Black Panther.

From this observation, we understand that Marvel madness is not going to stop and other games, for example Marvel’s Midnight Suns, will continue to feature superheroes. Only on the side of the seventh Art, we wanted to unify all this by creating the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU, as fans shorten it). And video games and all these productions? Marvel Games Vice President Bill Rosemann was asked about this and whether or not there will ever be a ” Marvel interactive universe “.
A Marvel Interactive Universe, a feasible project?
It is in a long interview granted to the GamesIndustry.biz site that Bill Rosemann gave a clear and clear answer to the question that many players are asking, and this since the revelation of the first trailer for ” Avengers Project in January 2017, which will become Marvel’s Avengers. Inevitably, when we see the current aura of the MCU, this prospect of a “MIU” leaves one to dream. For his part, the vice president does not have his head in the clouds so much and remains more down to earth on this issue, as developing such a project would be complicated with all the studios and productions involved.
The world, surprisingly, knows very well the concept of the multiverse and accepts it (…) Now we take advantage of all these different realities and we want to give everyone the freedom to tell their own story. We don’t want to tell them, “You can’t blow up the moon, because this game from another studio needs it.” We want to give everyone the free rein and all the means to tell their story. – Bill Rosemann, Vice President of Marvel Games
There is therefore no need to make a picture and we understand it well: the possibility of a ” Marvel interactive universe it will remain a sweet dream for players who have continued to hope for it. And we can understand that the difficulties in coordinating all of this are prohibitive for Marvel executives. We will therefore be satisfied with the games popular on consoles and PCs but we bet that future Marvel titles will make us forget this disappointment.
