New Content Pits the Entire Marvel Universe Against New Original Horsemen Forms for Jean Grey, Storm, Psylocke and Magik
With today’s update to Marvel Heroes Omega on PS4 and Xbox One, Gazillion reintroduces console gamers to one of the Marvel Universe’s most powerful enemies: Apocalypse. This time it’ll take everyone in the Marvel Universe to stop him. If they fail, a new Age of Apocalypse will dawn. And if you ask me that alternate world seems like a far more interesting prospect that saving the world.
Enlisted by Clan Akkaba to resurrect Apocalypse, Mister Sinister has cloned four powerful X-Men to serve as the deadliest Four Horsemen the world has ever faced: Jean Grey (Death), Storm (Pestilence), Psylocke (War) and Magik (Famine). This “Apocalypse Awakens” content will challenge even the most seasoned Marvel Heroes Omega players with heroes at level 11 or higher. Alone or in teams of as many as five heroes, players will confront En Sabah Nur’s forces in his Egyptian resurrection chamber. The new content will also feature all-new original Horsemen designs that unlock for Jean Grey, Storm, Psylocke and Magik.
This new event not only allows players to fight against Horsemen versions of Jean Grey, Storm, Psylocke and Magik, it also allows players to unlock these versions as part of the new Apocalypse Loot Box or as a part of the Age of Apocalypse Event Omega Pack, both only available for a limited time. These four heroes will join Spider-Man as Omega Prestige characters, increasing their combat potential. “Apocalypse Awakens” introduces Omega items that can be earned through the new Omega difficulty setting, which can be achieved by passing the Omega Trial.
I’m just happy that Marvel is doing stuff with the X-Men as they have been pretty weird about the properties that they don’t have the film rights to. That said, the X-Men films have been hit or miss since they started, which is more than can be said about every other series they don’t control. I’m looking at you Fantastic Four…
