Sega gets three more Marvel superheroes
With Iron Man already on their team, Sega‘s getting more Marvel superheroes for its line-up. Three more superheroes get drafted: patriotic Captain America, thunder god Thor, and the very angry Incredible Hulk.
The three will reportedly have movies, and of course, video game adaptations. Sega and Marvel have signed an extended deal that involves the three superhero‘s titles getting linked to future films. The Hulk’s movie will coincide with the game June next year. Thor and Captain America’s titles will come later, though they currently don’t have ETAs. Both companies are enthusiastic about the joint projects. Chairman of Marvel Studios, David Maisel had this to say:
These franchises represent three of Marvel’s most popular characters and lend themselves to captivating game play. We have already seen SEGA’s passion for the Marvel Universe through the early development of the Iron Man video game, and we look forward to working closely with them over the next few years to maximize the potential of these franchises in the interactive entertainment space.
For now, the four Marvel superheroes will star in their individual titles. Though it would be cool to have them all in one title wouldn’t it? The developers handling the games haven’t been announced yet as the games are reportedly going multiplatform (PS3, Xbox360, PSP, DS, and PC). We’ll bring you more info on this partnership and the resulting game. Stay tuned.
