Description:
Niantic is bringing the Pokmon Go experience to the world of spandex superheroes.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Pokmon Go developer Niantic is making an augmented reality mobile game based on the Marvel universe.

Marvel World of Heroes will mix the AR gameplay of Pokmon Go with the tight spandex of superheroes. Announced in a short teaser trailer , it will let you customize your own crime-fighting character to thwart villains in your local (AR) neighborhood

Create your own hero, patrol your neighborhood to foil crimes, and team up with your friends as well as iconic Marvel heroes such as Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine to save the Multiverse, reads the game's description.

The game is slated to release in 2023 for Android and iOS. Watch the trailer below. Marvel Go

Marvel World of Heroes looks to pull from Niantics expertise in AR mobile games, but isnt replicating the pocket monster-catching mega-hit wholesale.
In a blog post , lead game designer Neil Melville says the game gives a lot
of flexibility for players to express different body types, gender expressions, and outfit customization.

Senior producer Lyza Faylona says the dev team was inspired by MMORPGs and wants to replicate that genre's expansive feeling. The developers are placing a lot of emphasis on exploration, as well as interacting with the ordinary world with the preternatural powers of a Marvel superhero.

In a change from Pokmon Go, you wont just be walking around catching critters to launch into battles, but it seems like youll do the fighting yourself. The short trailer shows players wielding Thors hammer Mjlnir, Cyclops laser-shooting eyes, and Doctor Strange's circular orange energy shields. Youll also be able to team up with other players, although exactly how co-op battles work hasnt been detailed.

World of Heroes will soft launch soon. You can sign up for its beta test on the games website.

This is by no means the first time Niantic has transferred Pokmon Gos hit AR gameplay to another title. It released pet simulator Peridot earlier this
year , although well have to wait and see whether World of Heroes makes its way to the list of best Android mobile games on the market. Assassin's Creed Mirage is just one of three newly revealed games in the series
