Det er efterhånden lidt af en åben hemmelighed, at studiet bag XCOM-serien, Firaxis, arbejder på et Marvel-inspireret projekt i samme gameplay-mæssige ånd, men der er nu tilsyneladende lækket én detalje, der mildest talt synes at være lidt bizar.
VentureBeats Jeff Grubb var for nylig en del af GiantBombs podcast, og her gav han os åbenbart én ny og ret afgørende detalje omkring spillet.
Han siger nemlig, at det betragtes som en "original property", til trods for at det foregår i Marvels-helteunivers. Det betyder at du ikke kommer til at se nogen genkendelige helte og skurke, for fokusset er på at du skal forme dine egne.
"The reason that it might still be [considered] a new property even though it's a Marvel thing is that... this is not going to pick up any existing franchise in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe], it's not even going to be existing characters. So it's not going to have any existing MCU characters, but it should take place in the wider universe. The game is going to focus on the supernatural elements of the Marvel universe. I don't know if that necessarily means like Blade, but I do think there will be vampires in it, and I don't know if it means mystical Marvel [characters]... but I think you might see enemies of that type that you're fighting."
Det lyder... spændende.
