Following gameplay reveal from THQ's cancelled video game for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, it seems Marvel isn't letting go that easy. With the big-screen adaptation hitting theaters a little over eight months from now, GameSpot have received confirmation that a new game adaptation is in "early stages."
"The rights for a video game based on Marvel’s Avengers IP have reverted back to Marvel," a Marvel spokesperson today confirmed to GameSpot, adding, "The company is in early stages of exploring potential publishing and licensing opportunities."
While there are a few options out, who would you like to see Marvel partner with to respectively adapt Earth's Mightiest Heroes to game consoles? If possible, I say Marvel should re-team with Activision and develop something close to Ultimate Alliance.
