AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Villain Ultron Set To "Invade" The Marvel Gaming Universe
There's only one path to the Marvel's gaming universe...its invasion! It seems as though the titular villain from Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron will run through many of Marvel Games. These include Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Heroes, and more. Check it out!
With Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron set to hit theaters May 1st, Marvel Games Creative Director Bill Rosemann has announced that Ultron (the main villain in the sequel film) will appear in many games in the Marvel Gaming Universe. These games include Marvel Pinball, Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Heroes, Marvel Puzzle Quest, and Marvel Avengers Alliance. Bill Rosemann then tells why he thinks adding Ultron in these games is a good move. "Our mantra from the last few months has been 'Ultron invades Marvel Games.' The beauty of something like this is, you can see Avengers: Age of Ultron and then you can say, 'You know what? I want to be an Avengers, I want to fight against Ultron,' and you can do it." With that said get your first look at Ultron's invasion of Marvel Contest of Champions below.
Will we get an official Avengers: Age of Ultron tie-in video game? Even though the Marvel Studios office is "literally down the hall" from the gaming division, Peter Phillips, EVP of Interactive & Digital Distribution says that an official Avengers: Age of Ultron game is possible, but it's "just that it's not going to come out May 1 to tie in with the movie." He then goes on to say how he thinks their gaming department is a huge part of Marvel as a whole. "[Avengers: Age of Ultron's] something that's going to be on people's minds for years, partially because we've got other characters with their own films and tie-ins that have been already announced, but also because there are so many storylines and ways that connect with it in other forms of Marvel's business. Games is a piece of that, and enables us to tell that story moving forwards."
Ultron's gaming invasion is set to start on April 23, 2015. Are you exicted about this news? Check out the official poster below!
