The rumoured Marvel strategy game from XCOM studio Firaxis will reportedly let players create their own superheroes instead of using established characters.
This is according to details shared by Venture Beat journalist Jeff Grubb during a recent Giant Bomb livestream (via VGC). Grubb claimed that the rumoured Firaxis project won't use any established Marvel characters, and will instead let players assemble their squad of superheroes entirely using player-created characters.
According to Grubb, this will function in a similar way to XCOM's soldier customization, which allowed players to change the identities and looks of any soldiers they control. This time though, the new Marvel game from Firaxis will go a step further, letting players customize the superpowers of the characters they recruit to their XCOM-like squad.
In fact, Firaxis revealed earlier this year in May that they would be revealing "several" new games later this year in 2021. It's anyone's guess what the XCOM and Civilization developer could be working on outside of the Marvel game, but here's hoping we won't have too long to wait until we find out more about any projects.
