Development Marvel MMO from makers DC Universe Online has been stopped

Development of the Marvel MMO, which Daybreak Games was working on, has been halted. Parent company Enad Global 7 wants the studio to focus more on their existing games, such as The Lord of The Rings Online and DC Universe Online.

Enad Global 7 reports that it has pulled the plug on the project after an evaluation. “Based on the re-evaluation of the risk profile, the size of the investment and the long-term strategy, the board of directors has decided to adjust the development priorities”, writes the Swedish company† Enad Global 7 had invested 500 million Swedish Krona in the development of the mmo. That money is now being put to use at The Lord of The Rings Online and DC Universe Online to work on major updates announced earlier.

That the studio was working on a Marvel MMO was announced in a presentation for investors from Enad Global 7 in November last year. Dimensional Ink Studios, a division of Daybreak, started working on the mmo. Little substantive information about the game was known, other than that the mmo was going to be “a long-term project.” The mmo would be released in 2023 at the earliest.
