Vivendi has announced that it has signed a deal with Marvel Enterprises for the rights to make online games based on the 4,700 characters in the Marvel universe. Vivendi's first game to take advantage of the deal is planned for 2005. Vivendi already has an agreement with Marvel to publish games based on the Incredible Hulk movie, which is coming out next summer.
"We believe there are only a few franchises existing today that are compelling enough to be a leader in the massively multiplayer games market and Marvel's universe of superheroes is clearly one of them," said Ken Cron, chairman and CEO of Vivendi Universal Games.
Vivendi and Marvel will share the revenue from the online games' sales, subscription fees, and in-game advertising. The deal will allow Vivendi to publish the online games for multiple platforms, including both consoles and the PC, and in multiple languages worldwide. We'll have more details on the games as they become available.
