Vivendi Universal Signs Marvel Deal
Reported by: David Laprad

Vivendi Universal Publishing and Marvel Enterprises on Thursday announced a 10-year worldwide licensing agreement that grants VU Games the right to develop and publish online massively multiplayer (OLMMP) games based on Marvel's universe of more than 4,700 superheroes. The first OLMMP title under the new agreement is targeted for release in 2005. The deal provides VU Games with access to the entire library of Marvel characters. Additionally, VU Games has obtained the rights to release titles in multiple languages across all existing and future platforms enabling OLMMP gameplay, including PCs and console-based systems.

This online project marks the latest partnership between Marvel and VU Games, which is also developing next generation video games inspired by The Hulk feature film. Further details regarding future OLMMP titles based on Marvel characters will be released in the coming months.

<EM>4700?!?</EM> omg... that's unbelievable.

Huh? Does this mean that players have to choose from 4700 rather than create their own custom one? If the former, it kinda sux! Otherwise, woohoo Ballerina Man here I come! :D

All I wanna know is How I can Make $ on eB*Y off these games. Everquest made me a rich man for awhile till Sony's Lawyers got frisky and gave eB*Y notice that people profitting on their itellectual property was in their opinion wrong. That sucked.
