Gazillion Entertainment has curiously posted a new trailer and screenshots for a game called Marvel Heroes 2015.
It appears that Gazillion is secretly re-launching the Marvel Heroes MMO as Marvel Heroes 2015 according to forum chatter on the official Marvel Heroes website. One official moderator who goes by @Doomsaw essentially stated that the game will go through relaunches of this nature to ensure it's inline with the greater Marvel Universe.
There is a mysterious countdown clock on the official site as well, which when hovered on spells out 2015, but the timer is set for four days from now, so until then the Marvel Heroes universe will just have to wait for the official details. It's still not clear whether existing Marvel Heroes players will have to buy into Marvel Heroes 2015, or if their accounts will be upgraded, but smart business would hint at the latter option, so hopefully that's the case.
In the meantime though we did score a teaser video for Marvel Heroes 2015, as well as a batch of new screenshots. You can check out the teaser above, and the screenshots can be found after the break. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
Today, we're pleased to announce the imminent launch of Marvel Heroes 2015 occurring on June 4th, the first anniversary of Marvel Heroes. Along with the anniversary, Marvel Heroes 2015 will be launching its Open Beta on Mac.
We've reached out to Gazillion for clarification on how existing players will get access to Marvel Heroes 2015. If we hear back we will update this post again.
Gazillion's Jason Varden confirmed that existing Marvel Heroes players will not have to do anything special once the Marvel Heroes 2015 switch is flipped. They can log in and play like always.
