Kabam set to develop new mobile RPG featuring Marvel superheroes
Kabam has just announced that it’s set to develop a new game featuring superheroes from the Marvel Universe.
The upcoming game marks the second collaboration between the popular social gaming company and Marvel.
The two companies’ partnership has resulted in Marvel Contest of Champions, a free-to-play fighting game that is currently in soft-launch mode on the App Store in Denmark ahead of its worldwide launch later this month.
Marvel Contest of Champions is developed by Kabam in its Vancouver studio. But the next Marvel game is set to be developed by the company in its San Francisco studio, which houses the same team behind Castle Age and Underworld Empire.
The as-yet-untitled Kabam-Marvel tie-up game is a free-to-play role-playing game expected to be released on mobile devices in the fall of 2015.

These include Fast & Furious 6: The Game, The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings: Legends of Middle-earth, and The Hunger Games: Panem Rising.
