Microsoft to Publish Marvel Video Games Can't Post

Microsoft has won exclusive rights to develop and publish multiplayer online games starring Marvel's super heroes, including Spider-man, the X-men and the Hulk.

The deal covers MMO game titles developed for the Xbox 360 and published by the software giant's game studio. The deal is Marvel's first MMO pact. The first title is expected in 2008. The MMO deal is Microsoft's first for a console, although the company has previously had MMO deals for the PC.

MMO games allow players in various locations to compete. Such game play is popular with PC gamers in Asia. Some analysts estimate that as many as 2 million people are MMO game players. Online capabilities will be central to new game consoles and Microsoft sees MMO games as a large opportunity.
