Marvel MMO is back.
Venturebeat is reporting that game developer Gazillion Entertainment has signed a 10-year contract with Marvel Entertainment to develop online games using Marvel characters, starting with a game based on the upcoming Marvel Super Hero Squad cartoon and eventually branching out into a title called Marvel Universe.
The first game is a kid-oriented online world based on brand-new Marvel property Super Hero Squad. This show for kids will debut on the Cartoon Network in the fall and the game will debut sometime in 2010. Gazillion, based in San Mateo, Calif., has already been working on it for a year.
Heretofore unknown, Gazillion is unveiling itself as one of the most ambitious game startups in the world. It has 300 employees and is squarely focused as a pure play company developing online game worlds for the mass market, with game projects based on Marvel, LEGO, and its own original properties.
