A recent investor presentation from Dimensional Ink Studios saw the DC Universe Online developer confirm that they're working on a "Marvel IP based massively multiplayer online game."
We've seen Marvel Games expand substantially in recent years, with Marvel's Avengers and Spider-Man: Miles Morales releasing in 2020 and Guardians of the Galaxy earlier this year. Midnight Sons is also on the way, and it makes sense for them to now tackle an MMO project.
Enad Global 7's Q3 2021 financial report is where the information surfaced, though it doesn't sound like we'll see it until at least 2023. This unnamed title is going to be "led by Jack Emmert, who designed and helmed City of Heroes, and currently leads [DC Universe Online]."
It's worth noting that Daybreak Game Company was reportedly working on a Marvel MMO a few years ago before the project was scrapped, so perhaps Dimensional Ink Studios will pick up where they left off? We'll have to wait and see, but it's hard not to be intrigued by what could be on the way.
Other reveals in the report include DC Universe Online receiving an "investment in graphics upgrade and the largest expansion content to date for 2023," while The Lord of the Rings Online will get a "major revamp to upgrade the visuals, modernize the experience, and release on consoles."
