Xcom: Firaxy 'Marvel title with freely designable heroes

At the beginning of June, the rumor reached us that the strategy experts of Fireaxis Games work on a "XCOM" title in the world of "Marvel".

While the studio further silent on the rumors, the GamesBeat editor and industrial insider Jeff Grubb would like to know more. As this gave to understand in a current livestream, here is probably a "Marvel" adventure in the house, which is to expand the underlying universe and therefore renounces the well-known "Avengers" hero. Instead, it should be made possible to create your own heroes in the new work of Fireaxis Games and send them into the fight.

Focus on the supernatural skills?

"The reason why it is still considered something new, although it is a marvel thing is that this is not an existing franchise in [Marvel Cinematic Universe]. Not even existing characters will be there ", as Grubb. "So there will be no existing MCU characters, but it should take place in an extended universe."

"The game will focus on the supernatural elements of the Marvel Universe," Grubb said, pointing out, among other things, we are looking forward to Vampire as an opponent. The playable heroes continues: "I think the character they play will be a customizable superhero. Or at least the team could be customizable. So it will still be a xcom in a way, but therefore it will not take place in any existing franchise line. "

The developers of Fireaxis Games did not want to express themselves to the information of Grubb so far.
