It gives the impression that for the PC version, everything is primarily about releasing the “Omega Update” of the consoles for PC. Fans will have to wait for that. In the meantime, the event with numerous bonuses is active.

- Marvel Heroes Omega: Xbox One – Launch in June!
The action MMO Marvel Heroes Omega is now playable on PS4, and it should be coming to Xbox One soon. But the PC version is still the foundation. And it is struggling; only 2 new heroes are coming in 2017. Moreover, the developers want to abolish PvP.
PC players of Marvel Heroes feel neglected
Marvel Heroes on PS4 is a big deal. Additionally, the Xbox One fans are ready to go.
Suddenly, Marvel Heroes is “in” – after having lived for so long as a niche game, a hidden tip. It was the “number 3” behind Diablo 3 and Path of Exile – slowly it seems to be changing.
But the PC players of Marvel Heroes feel neglected. After all, they have remained loyal to the game all these years. Now they are paying for it with a slower development of their game, while everything is focused on the PS4 and Xbox One versions – that is at least how it seems.
For months, the PC players of Marvel Heroes have been calling for new content, but after the “biggest update of all time” and the move to consoles, it has been quite silent.
4-week event in June 2017
To honor the loyalty of PC fans, Gazillion is announcing a 4th birthday event that will last a month.
During the entire event, there will be 150% EXP and other bonuses. In the next 3 weeks, various events and sales will take place. In the last week of June, from June 22 to June 28, all events will be active at the same time. You can read the exact details here.
PvP will be abolished – Only 2 new heroes in 2017 – Carnage and Odinson
In an interview with the US site Massivelyop, more details about the future of Marvel Heroes are brought to light:
- There will be no changes made to the current version of PvP, as it is considered “irretrievable.” Over the course of the year, it will be completely removed. Competitive PvE, solo or in a group, is deemed more important. Long term, they think it’s great to build a better PvP experience, but Gazillion sees improving PvE leaderboards and tournaments as the better solution.
- They promise PC players that there will be more for them after the big Omega Update is released on PC. Then both versions of Marvel Heroes will be developed “only a few percent slower” than if there was only one version. PC players will benefit from Marvel Heroes running on PS4 and Xbox One.
- There are 2 new heroes planned for PC: Carnage is set to arrive in July, and in November Odinson (Unworthy Thor). They acknowledge that this is little. In the medium term, they aim to release six or eight new heroes per year.
It gives the impression that for the PC version, everything is primarily about releasing the “Omega Update” of the consoles for PC. Fans will have to wait for that. In the meantime, the event with numerous bonuses is active.
