Games that use characters from the Marvel universe are not a rare sight on mobile devices these days. We’ve got Marvel Strike Force, Marvel Future Fight, and Marvel Contest of Champions just to name a few. But that hasn't stopped Netmarble from teaming up with Kabam to make yet another Marvel game. Titled Marvel Realm of Champions, this upcoming product is set to hit both Android and iOS next year. Check out its trailer below:
Announced just a couple of days ago, Marvel Realm of Champions will reportedly be a real-time RPG that takes place on Battleworld, a forbidden realm that exists beyond the Space-Time Barrier. Die-hard fans of the comics will no doubt find this planet familiar, since it has appeared in several comic installments since its 1984 debut in Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Vol 1.
Here, the game offers several factions (or Houses as they are called) that you can choose to align yourself with, each of which has an affiliation with a popular Marvel hero. There’s the Pyramid X (X-Men), the House of Stark (Iron-Man), the Patriot Garrison (Captain America), and the Spider-Guild (Spider-Man). Once you've picked a House, you'll be fighting alongside other allies against the enemy to collect resources.
It seems you will also be able to create your own hero as well, as the game features a wide variety of superhero-inspired gear for you to customize your champion with. As for the gameplay, there appear to be several modes for you to play through, both PvP and PvE. We can speculate from the trailer above that PvP battles will be a 3v3 affair, though of course, there is no official confirmation at the moment.
As mentioned, Marvel Realm of Champions will come to both Google Play and the App Store next year, but we don’t know anything about a specific release date just yet. Details about a monetization model is not available either, but judging from Netmarble’s past works, it’s probably going to be a free-to-play title with IAPs.
