The Marvel film universe has remodeled modern entertainment, transforming the interconnected narrative into a Gold Standard with its Infinity saga. What if Marvel attempted the same thing in the games? This was actually launched at some point.
“MGU” (Marvel Gaming Universe) was a real concept, which would have connected more Marvel video games to shared continuity. That plan, however, has never exceeded the early stages.
Rivals marvel writer Alex Irvine Recently they shared intuitions on the project on the fourth Podcast of Curtain, revealing that the MGU “would exist in the same way” as the MCU. But despite some exciting and interesting ideas, the vision has never been realized
The MGU was actively brought forward by the Alex Serope game developer veteran, co-creator of Halo. When Disney acquired his study, Wideload Games, together with Marvel in 2009, saw an opportunity. “My initiative”, called him Serope, indicating that it had been a key force behind the project.
But like many ambitious ideas, everything has reached funding. Irvine recalled the frustration of seeing the concept falling apart:
“It was so frustrating because we devised all these great ideas on how to do it. And I was leaving Args at that point and thinking:” Wouldn’t it be nice if we had some Arg aspects? ”
“There would be a place where the players could go that all the games touched, and we could move them back and forth from one game to another. We could connect to the comics, we could analyze ourselves in anything, we could do original things. And then, as Alex said, it was not financed.”
An interactive world in which multiple games were connected, in which the players could jump among the stories, in which the Marvel games would have their own ecosystem separated from comics and films. This is an ambitious concept! But the complexity of pulling it away was too much for Disney at that moment.
Irvine admitted that the internal discussions focused on how to make MGUs feel unique without contrasting with the other Marvel means. In the end, the challenge may have been too crazy. Finally, the idea was accommodated.
At this moment, Marvel video games are scattered between different publishers such as Sony, Square Enix, Nintendo and more, which makes continuity a logistical nightmare.
I love this idea and it is a pity that nothing has ever happened. Maybe one day some game study will try to try a full -blown MGU, but probably there will probably not be soon.
