Marvel Heroes,[2][3] also known as Marvel Heroes 2015, Marvel Heroes 2016 and Marvel Heroes Omega, was a free-to-play massively multiplayer online action role-playing video game developed by Gazillion Entertainment and Secret Identity Studios.[1] Characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Deadpool, and Wolverine were playable characters that could be unlocked in the game. The story was written by Brian Michael Bendis.[4] Players who pre-purchased a game pack received early access to the game on May 29, 2013. The game was officially launched on June 4, 2013, on Microsoft Windows. An OS X version followed in November 2014.[5] The game was renamed to Marvel Heroes 2015 on June 4, 2014.[6] The game was renamed Marvel Heroes 2016 in January 2016.

On April 5, 2017, a console version was announced to be in production at the time for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that was branded as a free-to-play game under the title Marvel Heroes Omega.[7][8] This version was released on June 30, 2017.[9]

On November 15, 2017, Disney announced that it was ending its relationship with Gazillion Entertainment and that Marvel Heroes would be shut down at the end of 2017.[10] The game and the website for Marvel Heroes were taken offline on November 27, 2017 and Gazillion was shut down.[11][12][13][14]
