Marvel Avengers Title
What is Project Mephisto?
Last year, Marvel revealed its plans conquer yet another entertainment medium: video games. Marvel and Square Enix signed a multi-game deal to bring the Avengers back to games. Since they announced the partnership though, there has been little news regarding the title. What better place to announce more information than Gamescom 2018?
Similar to the possible Diablo 2 remaster, a lot of credence to this being Project Mephisto lies in the placeholder title. Mephisto is a known Marvel villain and was recently reintroduced in the recent secret empires storyline in the comics. In that story, he goes against Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Jane Foster’s Thor. A lot of these characters have become faces of both the comic and movie franchises over the past couple of years, giving the game and characters some brand recognition.
So it wouldn’t be a stretch for Project Mephisto to be a Marvel game in which players control one, or even all of these characters, similar to the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
