Niantic, the maker of Pokémon Go, has announced Marvel World of Heroes – a new smartphone AR game set to launch globally in 2023.
Details of the game remain thin on the ground, though a press release claims it will be “the first Marvel game where players become their own unique Marvel Super Hero”.
“The game is designed to be a social game experience and pits players, their friends, and their iconic Marvel Super Hero allies against Marvel Super Villains and interdimensional threats,” the press release continues.
Brands don’t get much bigger than Marvel, and Niantic is likely hoping for a safe bet for its next game after mixed reaction to some of its other, non-Pokémon Go projects.
