As someone who really enjoyed this game when it came out:

What?!?

So yeah, the full story is this. Shortly after the game came out, one particular data miner showed up, mmmmmmmiller. They saw that there were text files and incomplete work for a number of heroes. They were the one to leak a lot of info about Black Panther and Wakanda long before they were officially revealed. The heroes that we know are in the works because of them are She-Hulk, Winter Soldier, Captain Marvel, and War Machine. The other day, Miller tweeted out that Krizia Bajos would voice She-Hulk. She soon quote tweeted that with a green heart and then that tweet was deleted. Sandra Saad, Ms Marvel’s voice, also retweeted that and congratulated her before deleting it after an “oops”. VO is usually a late in development step, so she’s probably coming in the Spring sometime.

Now why She-Hulk? Besides her series coming presumably around the same time, I dunno. Game doesn’t really need more brawler-y street level guys. Since they’re going this route, I’d really like to see her being a grappler or wrestler type of character. Suplexes, drop kicks, flying elbows, power bombs. Something different from other punch/kick guys and especially different from Hulk.

They also announced they will no longer be providing roadmaps, because long term planning isn't what they do, they prefer for their content to grow organically.

Which is why you only get heroes that are other heroes already in the game.

From what I understand if Disney/Marvel does not approve the transaction that probably means not just an ending of future development for the game but a straight up server shutdown.

Could be. They forced Capcom to delist MvC games and Activision to delist Ultimate Alliance. I think both are back now, but they’ve done it before and may do it again.

Is Ultimate Alliance back? Pretty sure that "remastered" collection from 5 or 6 years back also got delisted so they've been delisted twice.

For Guardians, honest answer is no one can say but it can happen very suddenly so if you really want it for sure, grab it now since I'm sure a physical copy can be gotten on sale somewhere. They probably would give a warning though.

If anyone still cares about this game, the next hero is Jane Foster Thor (yay, another semi-clone), who comes out in a week.

Welp. Guess I'm going to have to dust off that copy I bought for $20 and never played. Jane Foster Thor was my main in Marvel Heroes, so I'm going to have to jump on the opportunity to have her raise the hammer again.

Gameplay trailer for Mighty Thor. She looks to be the closest to an echo or clone character yet. Biggest differences seem to be the Intrinsic and Ult abilities. She looks to be a little more ranged focus than regular Thor. There was room to do something different with her, like have her ranged attacks be lightning bolts or ice shards, but I think this is pretty underwhelming.

I am greatful for my loop pedal
Janes alright, an echo character obviously but shes got a few quirks in her skill tree that are fun. I like her Heroic more than Thors. Havent gotten any exotics or built much with her yet though.

Devs seem way more positive and open about the future of the game since the acquisition. At least 2 more heroes before the end of year and theyve said theyre currently planning content into 2023. Update 2.6 coming soon will finally bring Cloning Labs and a new MODOK Villain Sector and OLT, so we have that next and probably She-Hulk after to tie in with the show(much like their past 3 heroes releases)

I still pop in to play occasionally now that theyve reworked leveling past 150 Power, dont seem to ever have trouble matchmaking and I see a lot of high leveled players with fancy mtx skins so Im still not thinking this games going to die anytime soon.

It’ll die when the cross section of ongoing income and expensive marvel rights intersect. Just like every other Disney game property.
