Marvel Entertainment President, Dan Buckley, stated that NetEase is their perfect fit to help them get more people invested in the Marvel Universe; revealing that they're very excited to share more news about this new content they're working on.
"Marvel’s Super Heroes have inspired an entire universe of storytelling that resonates across today’s media – and games are one of the best ways to experience those stories.
