Why, you may ask? There are a number of reasons: game performance issues, a combat system that still hasn’t been finalized, bickering regarding the role of the actual Marvel heroes, and various other development headaches.

In any case, an official announcement will be made in a few weeks regarding the cancellation of Microsoft Game Studios’ Marvel Universe Online “unless something drastic happens.” In the meantime, it seems that the gamers will have to turn to City of Heroes to get their fix of superheroics.
