NY Comic Con had a few other gaming related announcements while the event was happening and these were from Marvel Entertainment who announced two new games that will be making their appearance on Android in the near future. One game is already out on iOS called Marvel: Avengers Alliance while the second game is MARVEL RUN JUMP SMASH! will be launching on multiple platforms including Android worldwide.
Currently only available in Korea, MARVEL RUN JUMP SMASH! is a new action running game which features a variety of well-known Marvel superheroes but with a bit more of a cartoon style of art to them and much bigger heads. This game is a bit of a mash-up between an endless runner and a side-scrolling arcade game. While the core of MARVEL RUN JUMP SMASH! has players controlling different superheroes as they run endlessly through different locations, collecting coins and avoiding hazards, you’ll also have to take down any enemies that get in your way using different moves and special attacks.
Marvel’s second announcement was in regards to their other game called Marvel: Avenger Alliance which is already out on iOS and Facebook. The announcement contained information about an upcoming content update for the current iOS title as well as the official revealing of an Android version that will be heading our way on November 21st, 2013. This game basically has players creating a team of heroes to fight it out with various groups of villains, all trying to get their hands on ISO-8 and use its power for whatever they want.
The new content revealed in the announcement is actually themed around the upcoming Thor: The Dark World movie where players journey to London and beyond in an attempt to stop Malekith and the Dark Elves from marching on Midgard. It actually sounds pretty similar to the upcoming Thor game from Gameloft as well which is also based off of the upcoming movie. This is only part of the new content which falls under the Special Ops section. There will also be a new chapter added to the game as well with even more content, all of which should arrive in the Android version as well when it is released.
From the upcoming Thor Special Ops mission
Marvel: Avengers Alliance also features PvP which is almost a tournament style of gameplay which is held in Seasons. A new season will be starting in the actually game shortly but we will have to wait until the game is released onto Android before we can participate, unless you want to play on Facebook. PvP rewards include new characters to play as like this new Season’s reward will be Deadpool.
Other characters will be arriving in the game soon such as Punisher and the Beast which players will be able to recruit when they launch. Any of the new content in the upcoming iOS update should also be available when the Android version is released this November 2013.
